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.

This week alone I’ve seen claims linking autism to tongue tie.
Claims that chewing meat will broaden a baby’s palate.
Thousands of likes. No evidence.

The truth doesn’t stand a chance here.

What performs isn’t accuracy.
It’s certainty.
It’s fear.
It’s confidence delivered fast enough that nobody asks for proof.

The lack of regulation means anyone can decide they’re an expert, without a single qualification.

That’s not a coincidence.
That’s how the system rewards content.

Absolutes outperform nuance.
Fear beats reassurance.
Confident nonsense travels further than careful truth.

And parents are left trying to tell the difference, exhausted, anxious, and blamed when it doesn’t work.

This isn’t about parents being foolish.
It’s about a platform that doesn’t care what’s true, only what spreads.

Today is the first day I have had a parent tell me they got themselves into a mess with a feeding plan that came from ChatGPT.

And here is what most parents do not realise:

AI does not know if the guidance it gives you is outdated or unsafe.
It does not know if the “plan” it creates is based on a blog from 2008 or a forum post written by a stranger.
It will invent steps that do not exist in any clinical guideline.
It will create feeding routines that are based on nothing.
It will reassure you even when the situation is deteriorating.
It will never ask the questions that protect babies.
It does not know your history your birth your risks your mental state or your baby’s vulnerabilities.
It cannot track worsening symptoms.
It cannot tell when something is off.
It cannot say stop this is unsafe.

But it will still answer you as if it is certain
because that is what it is designed to do.

Parents are following confident answers that have no assessment no evidence and no accountability behind them.

If you are struggling with feeding you need a human who can actually see what is happening
not a chatbot generating plans from mixed quality data.

Support is here when you need it.

Can you help this student?

I am a third year University of York Student writing to invite pregnant women aged 18 and over to participate in an important online questionnaire exploring the relationship between the bodily experience and mental health during pregnancy.
The study aims to better understand how women feel about their bodies during this unique time and how this relates to their mental wellbeing. Participation involves completing a brief, confidential questionnaire that takes approximately 15 minutes. To ensure the integrity of the study, participants should have no history of eating disorders.

Below is the link for the study:

We would be grateful if you could share this opportunity with pregnant women in your classes.

Thank you very much for your support in advancing research that may benefit pregnant women’s health.

Your brain isn’t just “tired” after broken nights.
It’s dealing with real oxidative stress in the areas that manage memory and emotional balance.

A new study found that L-theanine helped protect these areas in sleep-deprived mice, leading to better memory performance.
And for mums running on broken sleep, anything that supports the brain’s stress response is worth knowing about.

L-theanine is naturally found in tea and usually taken in the 100–400mg range. It’s considered low-risk, but higher supplement doses haven’t been well studied in breastfeeding, so speak to a professional if you’re unsure.

Save this for later if you’re running on fumes and want to understand what’s actually happening in your brain.

Baby foods are not equal across the globe, did you know?

This is such a great visual ♥️

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. ♥️

The little things to look for when you’re breastfeeding 👇

✨ Jaw muscles working
✨ Long, deep drops (not fluttery nibbling)
✨ Cheeks resting on the breast
✨ Swallow + pause rhythm

These are the signs your baby is transferring milk - not just attached. If you’re not seeing them, feeds may look “fine” but weight gain, reflux, unsettled behaviour or sore ni***es can be the clue something isn’t quite right.

This is the part most parents are never shown.
And it’s why so many are left feeling like they’re “failing” when actually the latch just needs a proper check.

If you’re unsure, you don’t have to guess. 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.
