Milk Matters Infant Feeding Solutions

Milk Matters Infant Feeding Solutions Our non judgemental consultants can help you meet your personal feeding goals.

IBCLCs specialising in difficult to feed breast & bottle fed babies babies (milk and solids) - tongue tie, reflux, colic, faltering growth, & other complex problems Breastfeeding:
The main focus of our work is on how to breastfeed rather than why, although we do cover the latter in some of our antenatal options and online information articles. Mums are often told they should breastfeed but when ni***es are agony and baby doesn’t seem satisfied or is unsettled all night; she can face a barrage of conflicting (if well intentioned) advice. With effective support these common problems can often be easily overcome (and often prevented with the right information antenatally), but breastfeeding is rarely a one approach suits all solution and so we are trained to help you piece together the different factors that can influence feeding, from your labour and delivery right through to what’s happening here and now. Using this alongside accurate information as to how breastfeeding works (despite the myths and old wives tales, it’s a sound scientific model) we can help turn early babyhood into the babymoon it should be. Bottle Feeding:
Whether you are expressing and feeding your baby breastmilk, want to restart breastfeeding after a break or have chosen to formula feed, we can also help with feeding problems experienced when using a bottle. Slow or extremely rapid feeding, leaking milk at the corners of the mouth, shallow attachment/bottle refusal, wind, colic, reflux and general feeding problems can all be experienced by bottle feeding babies too.

It’s not always colic.
It’s not always reflux.
And it’s not always “just wind.”

Tongue tie is missed more often than parents realise, even when feeding looks fine.

“Could it be tongue tie?” is the number one reason parents contact me.

So I built something that shows you exactly what to look for, what gets missed, and what actually matters before deciding what to do next.

DM GUIDE and I’ll send the details

True tongue protrusion clears the lower lip.
This doesn’t.

The tongue is bunching at the front, not moving forward. That’s a common compensation when midline movement is restricted.

This is why a quick look can be misleading.

This is tube feeding and finger feeding.
Here we used a naso/NG tube and a syringfatter not a specialist system.

When it’s set up and used with proper guidance, it can protect intake, reduce fatigue, and supports tongue movement and suck coordination.

Breastfeeding isn’t aesthetic. It’s physiology: reflexes, airway, flow, and state.

This is normal. This is fixable. This is why assessment matters.

Cost of living crisis, and the one product some families can’t opt out of is baby milk.

A global industry worth $80–100B.
UK regulator: profit margins of 50–75%.

So why are we still finding contamination after the fact?

Because this industry runs on sampling, not full surveillance.

They could be funding tighter controls: more frequent batch testing, continuous factory monitoring, tougher supplier testing, and routine spot-checking after product leaves the plant.

That costs money. It reduces margins.

So the system accepts a level of failure and cleans it up with recalls.

This isn’t breast vs formula.
It’s an essential product being treated like any other supermarket category, while parents pay premium prices and hope it’s safe.

Had a release… and nothing changed?

This little one had a tie treated elsewhere. They’d been reassured it had healed fine, but baby still struggled with symptoms - solids, open cup, breastfeeding and sleep were all a struggle.

On assessment we found residual frenulum still restricting function.

Mum’s report a few days later: drinking from a cup more easily, eating better, breastfeeding more comfortably, and sleep settling.

Next focus: chin up / posture support while skills consolidate.

If your baby had a release but things didn’t shift, a function-led reassessment can be the missing piece.

Danone is recalling Aptamil First Infant Formula because cereulide toxin has been found in the product. The product listed below is on sale in the UK.

Aptamil First Infant Formula
Pack size 800g
Batch code 31-10-2026
Best before 31 October 2026

Risk statement
The presence of cereulide (toxin) makes this product unsafe to consume.
Cereulide is a toxin produced by some strains of Bacillus cereus. Cereulide is highly heat stable meaning it is unlikely to be deactivated or destroyed by cooking, or when making the infant milk according to NHS guidelines. If consumed it can lead to rapid onset of symptoms.
Symptoms caused by this toxin include nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. (Food.gov.uk)

If you have bought any of the above product do not feed it to babies. Instead, return it to the shop where they bought it for a full refund with or without a receipt.

Even if you have not identified ill-health in your baby as a result of consumption of this product, it is essential to stop using it.

If you have fed this product to a baby and have any concerns about potential health impact, you should seek advice from healthcare professionals, using the most appropriate route depending on where you live, (i.e., visit your GP, call NHS 111).

23/10/2025

Signs a baby is feeding well from a bottle include a wide gape around the teat, the bottom lip rolled out and no clicking or leaking with a steady rhythm of sucking and swallowing.

If you’re not seeing these, or if feeds are messy and stressful, it is usually a sign the flow, latch or oral function needs checking rather than ‘just wind’.

If you are unsure, this is exactly what I support parents with every day. ♥️

Our Story

Breastfeeding & Bottle Feeding Support: As experienced International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs), our non judgmental consultants and approach can help you meet your personal feeding goals.

Breastfeeding: the main focus of our work is on how to breastfeed rather than why. Problems such as painful feeds, an unsettled baby, slow weight gain and digestive complaints like wind can often be easily overcome with effective support - but breastfeeding is rarely a one approach suits all solution and so we’re trained to help you piece together the different factors that can influence feeding, from your labour and delivery right through to what’s happening here and now. Using this alongside accurate information as to how breastfeeding works (despite the myths and old wives tales, it’s a sound scientific model) we can help turn early babyhood into the babymoon it should be. Bottle Feeding: Whether you are expressing and feeding your baby breastmilk, want to restart breastfeeding after a break or have chosen to exclusively formula feed your baby - we can support you on your feeding journey. We can help with feeding problems experienced when using a bottle such as very slow or extremely rapid feeding, leaking milk at the corners of the mouth, shallow attachment/bottle refusal, wind, colic and reflux.
