How to stop the nappy change cry 🤍

One of my favourite little hacks… pop the wipe between your b***s while you’re getting baby undressed. By the time you need it, it’s warmed up and ready to go.

That sudden cold wipe on a warm bottom? No thank you 😅 A small change, but it can make a big difference, especially in those early weeks when everything feels loud and dramatic.

Parenting isn’t about being perfect, it’s about finding the tiny tweaks that make your day run a bit smoother.

Struggling with latch, pain, or wondering if your baby is feeding effectively? You’re not alone. 💛

Here are my 3 top tips for breastfeeding that mums often forget:
1️⃣ Aim your ni**le up the baby’s nose for a deeper latch
2️⃣ A deep latch should feel comfortable – pain isn’t normal
3️⃣ Watch for swallows, not the clock

All of this and more is covered in my Prepare to Breastfeed course, designed to give you confidence before baby arrives. And remember – it’s never too late to seek support, even if your little one is already here.

📍 Supporting families in Guildford, Woking & surrounding areas, plus online across the UK.
💌 DM or email me to book a home visit, online session, or join the course.

It’s Time to Talk Day, and this feels like the right moment to say this out loud.

When I was feeding my first baby in the middle of the night, I felt so lonely. The house was silent, everyone else was asleep, and my mind would spiral.
How am I going to cope tomorrow?
How can I possibly get through a whole day feeling this tired?

The nights made everything feel heavier. Harder. More impossible than it really was.

But every single time, morning came. I got through the day. And it was never as bad as it felt in the dark hours.

I remember finally saying this out loud to a friend and hearing, “I felt exactly the same.” That moment mattered more than they probably realised.

With my second and third babies, I reframed that thought. I knew I would survive the next day (even if it took a gallon of coffee ☕). I stopped seeing those night feeds as something to dread and started seeing them as quiet, sacred moments. Just me and my baby. No expectations. No noise. Just us.

If you’re in the thick of it right now, feeling overwhelmed, lonely, or like you’re barely holding it together, please know you are not weak for feeling this way. And you don’t have to carry it alone.

Talking changes things. Sharing lightens the load.

💬 Comment below and tell me what you found (or are finding) hard.
You never know who needs to read “me too” today. 💛

Breastfeeding support should never feel rushed, judged or out of reach.

I am a lactation consultant and infant feeding specialist offering personalised breastfeeding support in Woking, Guildford and surrounding Surrey areas, as well as online and phone support across the UK.

I support families with:
• Painful breastfeeding
• Latch issues
• Low milk supply or oversupply
• Reflux and unsettled babies
• Combination feeding and formula support
• Tongue tie support alongside local services
• Feeding after a difficult or traumatic birth

I offer home visits, online consultations, phone support, and ongoing WhatsApp support, so you can get help in a way that works for you and your baby.

If you are pregnant, my Prepare to Breastfeed antenatal feeding course helps you understand how breastfeeding really works, what is normal in the early days, how to protect your milk supply, and how to feel confident before your baby arrives. It is ideal for first time parents and those wanting a better experience this time around.

Feeding support is not just about milk. It is about confidence, mental wellbeing, reassurance and feeling held during one of the biggest transitions of your life.

If you are looking for a breastfeeding consultant in Woking or Guildford, or need expert infant feeding support online, you do not have to struggle alone.

To book support, ask a question or join my Prepare to Breastfeed course, contact me via DM or email vicky@thefairybirthmother.co.uk or book a free discovery call by visiting my website www.thefairybirthmother.co.uk

You deserve support that feels calm, evidence based and centred around you and your baby.

The why behind my business 🤍

This business was born from lived experience. From being a mum, from navigating pregnancy, birth and feeding myself, and from seeing just how unsupported so many parents feel during one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives.

My passion has always been supporting parents in a way that feels safe, calm and empowering. I am deeply passionate about protecting feeding journeys, supporting maternal mental health, and making sure parents feel informed, heard and confident in their choices, whatever those choices look like for them.

I created The Fairy BirthMother because I believe no one should feel rushed, judged, or alone during pregnancy or early parenthood. Support should be kind. It should be evidence based. And it should centre you and your baby.

I now support families through antenatal education, hypnobirthing, breastfeeding and infant feeding support, postnatal care, newborn sleep guidance, and perinatal mental health support, offering holistic antenatal and postnatal care that meets families where they are.

I work with families across Woking, Guildford and the surrounding Surrey areas, as well as online, because support should not depend on your postcode.

If you are pregnant, feeding your baby, or finding early parenthood harder than you expected, please know this. You are not failing, and you do not have to do this alone. I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

📩 Get in touch: DM me or email vicky@thefairybirthmother.co.uk

💭 Is this normal?
💭 Am I doing this right?
💭 Does this mean something’s wrong?

These are some of the most common questions breastfeeding mums ask. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

Many parents think they need a full breastfeeding assessment for every concern, but that is not always the case.

✨ Did you know I offer phone call lactation consultations?

These are ideal for:
• Talking things through while you are in hospital
• Discussing feeding options before making a feeding decision
• Support with weaning or stopping breastfeeding
• Questions about night weaning
• Help with pumping, expressing, and milk supply routines
• Questions about starting solids and complementary feeding
• Understanding what is normal and knowing when extra support is needed

Sometimes you just need to talk things through with an experienced lactation consultant without booking a full appointment.

I provide professional breastfeeding and infant feeding support through:
📞 Phone consultations
💻 Online support
🏡 In-person home visits

Support should feel accessible, flexible, and reassuring during the early weeks and months of parenting.

This is a breastfeeding product I do not recommend.

This ni**le shield is often marketed as a way to see how much milk your baby is getting, but it does not measure milk intake or milk transfer. Seeing milk in a shield does not tell you how much milk your baby is actually taking at the breast.

Ni**le shields can be a helpful short-term breastfeeding tool when used for specific reasons and with professional support. However, using a ni**le shield when it is not needed can reduce milk removal, lower breast milk supply, and increase the risk of blocked ducts and mastitis.

If you are worried about whether your baby is getting enough milk, the most reliable signs are weight gain, wet and dirty nappies, swallowing, feeding behaviour, and breast changes over time, not a product.

✨ I offer in-person breastfeeding support, online video consultations, and phone breastfeeding support. Many parents choose a phone call to talk through feeding worries, low milk supply concerns, or ni**le shield use and get clear, evidence-based guidance quickly.

“I thought breastfeeding would just happen…”

That’s what so many parents tell me. And yet, 8 out of 10 mothers in the UK stop breastfeeding before they wanted to (UNICEF, 2017).

It’s not because they don’t care or don’t want to. It’s because the first days and weeks can feel overwhelming. Sore ni**les, cluster feeds, uncertainty, and conflicting advice. Without the right guidance, confidence can quickly turn to doubt.

In the UK, while 81% of mothers start breastfeeding, by 6–8 weeks that number drops to just 48%. That’s nearly half of parents who wanted to continue but struggled alone.

Here’s the truth: breastfeeding is biological, but it’s also a learned skill. Knowing what’s normal, how to position your baby comfortably, how to recognise effective feeding, and when to ask for help can transform your breastfeeding journey and give you the confidence and reassurance you deserve.

That’s why my Preparing to Breastfeed course exists. Designed for parents in Woking, Guildford, Surrey, and online across the UK, it provides evidence-based guidance, practical skills, and emotional support before baby arrives so you can start your journey with confidence.

That feeling when you walk out of a Preparing to Breastfeed course knowing a family is genuinely set up to smash it 😌✨

Not because breastfeeding will be “easy”.
Not because there won’t be bumps, questions or wobbles.

But because they now understand what’s normal, how milk production actually works, how babies feed biologically, and where to get support before things feel overwhelming.

I see it every time, that shift from “I hope I can do this” to “I know what to expect and I know where to turn.”

That confidence matters.
That preparation matters.
And it can make a huge difference in those early days and weeks.

If you’re pregnant and due soon, or supporting someone who is, my Preparing to Breastfeed course is designed to give you realistic, evidence-based, judgement-free support, not just techniques, but understanding.

Why Lactose-Free Isn’t the Answer for Almost All Babies…

Most babies aren’t actually lactose intolerant. Lactose is the main carbohydrate in human milk and it’s essential for brain growth, gut development and overall health. Taking it away long term can have a real impact on how babies grow and thrive.

Lactose-free formula is often sold as the answer to wind, reflux or tummy upset, but in reality, this is just another marketing tool.

Need personalised feeding advice? 💛
Send me a DM and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
