A friend recommended Sarah after I was having ongoing issues breastfeeding / latch pain. I had already had lots of help from various people and groups with little results or results that didn’t seem to last. My birth plan completely went out of the window when I came to it, and breastfeeding was my last…
I wanted to update you but also really to thank you for all of your help and support over the last month or so. From leaving the hospital after our stay due to R’s weight loss/slow weight gain when we were expressing and topping up with bottles after every feed I cannot believe where we…
The link between tongue-tie and mouth breathing and the consequences of mouth breathing are issues that are increasingly being raised on social media and in my clinics.

I did a quick google and…

If your baby is struggling to feed and has a suspected or confirmed tongue-tie you may feel the situation is somewhat hopeless. However, it is important to understand that the impact…
The views and opinions expressed in this blog are my own. I wanted to write this to get my own thoughts on this issue clear in my mind. It may be useful to parents in understanding all the issues that this pandemic is raising and why services are being disrupted. I hope it may also…
