Welcoming a new baby into the world is life-changing in the best possible way! I'm here to support you through every step of your feeding journey and caring for your newborn during the fourth trimester.
About me...
Hi, I'm Claire!
I'm a mama of two, a Registered Midwife of 10 years and a Qualified Breastfeeding Counsellor. For the last 5 years, I have worked as a Community Midwife and a big part of my role is to support mothers with feeding their babies and dealing with various challenges.
Mamas&milk NI was born from my own experience of feeding my two children. I had issues with breastfeeding, low supply, and both my babies had reflux and cow's milk protein allergy, so I am fortunate to be able offer a mixture of personal and professional experience. I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space for new and expectant parents to receive support through any challenges with feeding their babies - whatever method they chose.
