Who I Am...

I’m Millie, a Baby Care Specialist and Motherhood Journey Coach with over ten years experience maternity nursing for VIPs. I’ve spent my career helping women navigate the crazy but beautiful experience of bringing a new life into the world.

As a Motherhood Journey Coach & Baby Care Specialist, I work with expectant and new mums to offer bespoke support and specialist advice, so you can thrive instead of simply survive.

My unique approach blends my professional expertise with a side of realness, because let’s face it, caring for a baby is never a piece of cake (although sometimes, a piece of cake can definitely help… a spoonful of sugar and all that).

Advice…. there’s plenty of it to go around when you become a mum (and not all of it welcome).

But where can you turn for honest, unbiased advice that’s tailored to you and your baby?

It’s easy to ask other mums (who are often a fantastic resource!) but what’s right for one family might not work for yours.

Your baby is unique.

You are unique.

Your circumstances are unique.

And so is the support I offer.

As a Motherhood Journey Coach & Baby Care Specialist I provide parents with personalised solutions, strategies and bespoke routines and plans, that take on board your individual set of challenges.

You don’t have to feel alone, overwhelmed or judged. I’m here as your dedicated support person to help you figure out what’s right for you and your baby.

Praise

"Millie went above and beyond in helping with every issue that arose, including recommending an excellent lactation consultant, recommending products to help ease the babies suffering from the reflux, generally providing emotional support to myself and my husband during a very stressful time of our lives. She showed up everyday with an extremely positive attitude and a can do approach."

Laurel b London, UK

"Millie provided a flawless standard of care and invaluable support to us as new parents. Showing her expertise and guiding us with confidence & good humour through those intense early weeks... her presence is reassuring and never intrusive. She is open and communicates well, which is especially important during such an emotional time."

Samantha KBangkok, TH

Millie is incredibly calm and nurturing - I trusted her instantly & she was an incredibly reassuring person to have around. Being hormonal and stressed, I found myself worrying about lots of things and Millie always sympathetically explained the likely causes and helped me to worry less."

Alex dLondon, UK

Millie gave us all a sense of calm during a very overwhelming time in our lives... She was an invaluable source of information regarding infant care for premature babies, as our twins were born 5 weeks early. She is an incredibly caring, loving, kind, compassionate, calm, very hard-working, incredibly organised and very conscientious individual."

alexandra TEngland, UK

Millie has a confident and caring manner and fit into our wider family and team very well. We could not have got through those first few months without Millie’s help! I would not hesitate to recommend Millie to anyone who requires specialist newborn help or advice on any aspect of newborn and baby issues. We continue to seek her advice and guidance and she has now become a close and permanent part of our support network.

Things you can do now to make life with your newbo

🤱🏿Preparing to Breastfeed - Tongue Tie
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes this isn't an issue and if baby is feeding okay and gaining weight, then it doesn't seem to be a priority for a surgical division.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But what about Mama? Often a tongue tie can make latching and feeding uncomfortable - unbearable even. But still, women soldier on and think that this is normal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨It is okay to not enjoy breastfeeding
✨It is okay to question if something doesn't feel right.
✨It is okay to seek a second opinion. And a third!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're experiencing pain, if baby struggles to open their mouth and/or latch, if baby only takes short feeds (less than 5 mins before baby pulls off), cries & fusses at the breast then I would consider having an assessment👍🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I do know parents who have been told at birth that their baby does not have a tongue tie. Only for them to find out later that in fact, they do (after lots of stress, anxiety and sleepless nights). My advice is to trust your intuition. It may not be a tongue tie but if your baby doesn't seem comfortable or you are in pain, then there are services you can seek out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Call the FREE National Breastfeeding Helpline on - 0300 100 0212.
✨Watch YouTube videos from Dr Jack Newman and also the 'Flipple Method'.
✨Be persistent with your HV/midwife. "Oh but you're baby is gaining weight so there isn't any concern" is NOT an answer. It's a checkbox.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some say tongue tie is becoming "over diagnosed". This frustrates me no end 🤪 Why do women have to push through pain during what is supposed to be one of the most joyous times of their life. Why do women have to feel ashamed that they dread breast-feeding. Why do women feel ashamed to speak up when their motherhood journey doesn't live up to what they see on social media...

Any questions or concerns in this area, please comment or DM me💕
