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.

Are these noises keeping you up all night? Occasional grunts and groans can be normal as babies adjust to feeding and digestion in the early weeks. If it’s happening often, here are some things to try:

✅ Burp your baby more regularly during and after feeds to
help release trapped air.

✅ If bottle-feeding, offer smaller, more frequent feeds to
make digestion easier.

But if these grunts and groans are a constant struggle, there could be an underlying issue - like swallowing air, tongue tie, or milk digestion challenges.

That’s where an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) can help.

How many can you label?

You might have seen something called the “guppy stretch” online.

It often shows babies placed into a deep neck extension with the head hanging back.

Babies don’t have the cervical stability adults do, so forcing that position or letting the head drop unsupported can place unnecessary strain on the neck.

Instead, support the baby’s entire body and head.

When babies are fully supported, they can gently tip their head back within their own comfort zone if they want to.

The difference is simple:
supported and baby-led, not forced or hanging.

That’s what I’m demonstrating here.

This is one reason some babies cry after feeds.

During bottle feeding, clicking and loud clicking means air is entering the feed. When babies swallow air while drinking, it can contribute to reflux, discomfort, gas, and crying after feeding.

Many parents think this is just colic or a “messy feeder”, but the sounds during the feed often tell the real story.

Listen for clicking, watch for milk leaking, gulping, or babies pulling on and off the bottle.

These can be signs that the seal around the bottle teat isn’t optimal and the baby is swallowing air during feeding.

Reducing air intake during bottle feeds can make a big difference for babies with reflux, gassy babies, and babies who cry or arch after feeding.

I’m saying nothing 🤐 But if you want sleep support from someone who’s seen a few regressions… 📞 me ✌🏼

Can you hear the difference as the air moves ❤️

It worked.

For 2 days.

Then the fussing came back.
The arching.
The clicking.
The short feeds.

So you changed the formula again.
Switched teats.
Adjusted how you made it.
Added Infacol.
Tried gripe water.
Gaviscon.

Temporary improvement doesn’t mean the problem is gone.
It often means something is compensating.

If baby clicks, dribbles, gags, tires quickly, or only feeds well when sleepy… pause.

Before the next product change, check the mechanics.

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. ♥️

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.
