Fertility, pregnancy & post-natal

Heidi Hembry is a Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with over 13 years of experience, supporting families on their breastfeeding journeys. Whether your desire is to breastfeed exclusively, combination feed, or just to have a more positive breastfeeding experience, she can help you to make a personalised plan to suit you and your baby:

"Having struggled with breastfeeding my first baby, I have both personal and professional experience of common concerns, such as weight loss/gain, low supply, tongue tie, painful feeds, expressing and mastitis. I am also experienced with oversupply, reflux, thrush, twins & multiples, stopping breastfeeding, responsive and safe formula feeding, introducing solids and returning to work whilst breastfeeding.

I initially trained and volunteered with the Breastfeeding Network (BfN) from 2009. After several years of working with families and babies in hospital, at home, and in the community I qualified as a Tutor and Supervisor with the BfN in 2012, and as an IBCLC in 2015. With a foundation in evidence-based research and mother centred counselling, I offer 1:1 support to Hertfordshire families, in the comfort of your own home to help you overcome breastfeeding concerns"
