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.

What you should be doing:

After you’ve finished sterilising

It’s best to leave bottles and teats in the steriliser or pan until you need them.

If you do take them out, put the teats and lids on the bottles straight away.

Wash and dry your hands before handling sterilised equipment. Better still, use some sterile tongs.

Assemble the bottles on a clean, disinfected surface or the upturned lid of the steriliser.

This is what happens when you see the same thing too many times. Maybe music will spread the message.

If you’ve had a tongue tie release and feeding still isn’t right, this is what I’m seeing more of.

A quick release is done.
A follow-up says everything looks fine.

But at home:
– feeding is still a struggle
– still coughing or pulling off
– still unsettled or inconsistent
– only working with certain teats or positions

So it gets put down to reflux, teats, solids, or time.

But if feeding isn’t working, the problem hasn’t gone away.

This isn’t about how it looks.
It’s about how it’s functioning during a feed.

If that hasn’t been properly assessed, you’re left trying to manage something that hasn’t actually been resolved.

And that’s why so many parents end up stuck here.

We specialise in support after treatment elsewhere - in person and worldwide ❤️

I said what I said.

This line gets thrown around a lot.

Not because it’s balanced.
Because it’s useful.

Useful for softening the reality that feeding outcomes aren’t all equal and shifting the focus away from why that is.

You’ll hear it framed as nuance, as choice - when that’s so far from the reality it’s verging on delusional.

But watch where it shows up, and who benefits from it.

150 years later, the design is back. This time it’s going viral on Instagram.
I went to find out who was behind it. What I found sent me down a rabbit hole I wasn’t expecting.

Please research before you buy and share to other parents who need to know.

Crying = late hunger cue.
By the time your baby is screaming, they’ve already been asking for a feed for minutes - sometimes longer.
Rooting. Hand sucking. Mouth opening. Head turning. That’s the actual conversation. Crying is when they’ve given up on being understood.
Watch the early cues. Feed before the meltdown. Everyone wins.

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.
