Lactation Consultants in Melbourne, FL

Can ring Australian Breastfeeding hotline or look up the FB group 'Breastfeeding Twins or More' for advice.

Eastern Lactation Consultant Leonie is awesome

Thanks Sarah Olencewicz our LC is Sydney based. You can link up with her via live video consult here though: https://helpouts.google.com/117279.../ls/a9 c622 fe38 aae291...

For fussiness at the breast, also try breast compressions to help propel the milk out faster http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh-nnTps1Ls This works well for very young babies too whilst they still tire easily. By 3 months they'll nurse more efficiently and then most feeds usually lasts only a few minutes (they'll still drink frequently though) smile emoticon

janettetimmermans@hotmail.com Is the LC I used

I second Leonie 0417 315 957 based in eastern suburbs and helped heaps with my twins and other twin mums I know too!

Narelle Dwyer is sensational for feeding advice. I was in the same situation with my kids. Tandem works for awhile but they get a bit sticky beaky & want to look around thus I fed separate in the finish. The toddler could still have a story read whilst doing that. If you are intetested in Narelle 's details let me know.

Australian Breastfeeding Association are great.

Robyn Thompson is Australia's best lactation consultant. She is Melb based, Altona but also does Skype consults as well. She is gentle and loving with 40 years exp and has just submitted a PHD on 25 years of data as a consultant hired by Darrebin Council to support new mums. Google breastfeeding consultant and let her know I referred you! Keep going, I fed twins for 2.4 years!

Sue Shaw is a FANTASTIC lactation consultant based in Williamstown (but will travel.) http://www.susanshaw.com.au/contact/ She came to us a couple of times and I was able to (and did) contact/call her on many occasions to get extra help and advice. I h ighly recommend contacting her. I also had a 2 year old when our boys were born and exclusively tandem fed for 7 months and then fed individually (as they got to big and distracted each other!) The boys turned 1 yesterday and I am still feeding twice a day! It's not easy in the first 10-12 weeks, but does get easier! Good luck!

Hi Skye, Robyn Thompson is brilliant and has helped many women I know. Www.breastfeedingconsultant.com. Good luck xo

Oh Margaret Vitale ! Yay, thanks so much I'll get onto her right away. Hope you've sorted things out with her? xx

Hi Skye, I met with Susan Shaw she was really good! Let me know if you want her details. X

Hi Kristy, You can find information on the pathways to be eligible to sit the IBLCE exam here http://iblce.org/certify/pathways/ Some ABA volunteers have used their volunteer role to satisfy the requirement for lactation specific clinical practice, however ABA training and volunteering does not currently satisfy the requirements for health science or lactation specific education. IBLCE may be able to provide you with more information if you contact them through their website.

Soad Eter this is amazing. Watch this

Vanessa Vagg Babies are so clever

Tricia Levelle show this to Diana.

I saw a great lactation consultant in Wyoming at the Central Coast Womens Community Health Centre. Dr Diane Carroll. She has a few appointments specifically put aside each day she works for breast feeding consults. You get nearly all of the fee back from Medicare.
