Lactation Consultation

Are you finding feeding overwhelming and challenging? Do you need practical and personalised care for you and your baby.

Dr Heather Cock is an International Certified Lactation Consultant who is skilfully trained to teach and empower mothers how to feed their babies. If your baby is unsettled, struggling with weight gain or having issues with latching, Heather is meticulous at trying to find the root cause. She combines 30 years of Cranial Osteopathy with her Lactation training to carefully and gently assess the anatomy of your baby’s body to see if any tension is affecting the feeding experience. Heather will clinically assess the tongue, mouth and lips for tone, coordination and strength and give individual advise and exercises if appropriate.
