About

A “power hour” with Penny a few weeks before birth. Penny gave me lots of advice and text messages post birth. So helpful in early post-partum days with lots to learn. Pleased to say our little boy is feeding like a trooper and midwife was very impressed at his five day weigh in.

‍

Penny has supported me through my pregnancy, helping to relief some very uncomfortable back pain. She’s also been available and proactive postpartum to support with my feeding journey. She gave me judgement free, supportive advice throughout which has made a meaningful difference to both mine and my babies wellbeing in the early days and weeks. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone pregnant, and anyone looking to breastfeed. Thank you Penny!

Penny really helped me with my confidence and technique breastfeeding. We’re still quite early days, but it’s been very helpful to have Penny’s advice along the way and I’ve been able to enjoy this new experience with my little one!

Penny's advice was very helpful and it was nice to have the reassurance that things were going well as you can feel unsure of yourself in the early days. Though feeding went well initially, I had a little hiccup after my initial meeting, Penny promptly replied to my whatsapp messsages with her help and advice on the situation. I also greatly appreciated the follow up support to check that things were going ok. I would recommend this service as I found it very helpful as a first time mum

I contacted Penny for help with breastfeeding after my son had his tongue tie cut.I had been using breast pumps up to this point and had not been successful in getting him to latch consistently. Penny came to my home, helped with different positions and provided a lot of advice which was really helpful. He latched and fed after a few attempts which was great. Penny is so knowledgable, encouraging and incredibly caring.

Unfortunately breast feeding has not worked out for me for various reasons. Despite this, Penny has been so supportive throughout and has followed up with me and encouraged me with my decision to exclusively pump. I would highly recommend if you are having any issues with breast feeding.

Penny came round to the house to assist with some breastfeeding support. She was very patient and had some great tips, bespoke to my situation, which really helped on a practical level, and also in terms of boosting my confidence. She was also always available to text outside of appointments. I would very much recommend her. Thank you for all your help.

Penny has been amazing in supporting me on my breastfeeding journey. Having a premature baby and as a first time mum, it has been invaluable to have someone to come to the house and also to be at the end of the phone. Really personable and made me feel much more confident. Just what I needed when my family are not close by. Thanks again!

I reached out to Penny for breastfeeding support with my 3 week old baby. As a first time mum, I wasn’t feeling confident about breastfeeding and particularly wanted advice on the latch, how to help my windy baby, and breastfeeding at home with visitors and in public when you have larger breasts. Penny was able to see me the following day and in the comfort of my own home.

I was reassured that baby’s latch was good and received lots of tips for a windy baby, breastfeeding in front of people, and the best breastfeeding positions. I am currently working through the options suggested by Penny for wind, but I immediately felt more confident about breastfeeding and fed in front of relatives and in public in the days following our meeting! It was also really helpful to receive a follow up email from Penny with everything we discussed so that I could refer back to it. Penny has so much knowledge on breastfeeding and I would highly recommend to other mums.

I saw Penny's advert on Instagram and reached out to her as my 4 week old was having difficulty latching onto the breast. She came round and watched how my son was feeding and then provided with different advice as to how I could try and get him to latch. With Penny's advice, my son managed to Latch on a few times that week.

She also noticed that he might have TT(Tongue Tie), and therefore recommended I see a specialist. She has also been answering any questions I have via WhatsApp. I cannot thank Penny enough for her help and support during this time. If you are having any Breastfeeding issues, please reach out to Penny.

I reached out to Penny on a Sunday asking for an appointment in the week but explained I was in a stew over breast feeding! She messaged me back straight away and came out that afternoon. Penny helped me with all my worries and was very re assuring. I would highly recommend her services to anyone struggling with both the emotional and physical parts of breastfeeding and having a new born in general.

After nearly 12 weeks of trying to fully breast feed my baby but having to rely daily on formula top-ups, meeting with Penny gave me the confidence to know that I wasn’t doing anything wrong and that fully breastfeeding could be possible, even so many weeks after birth.

She took and considered a detailed history of my pregnancy, labour and health since birth which then enabled her to provide me with a realistic outcome and the things I would need to do in order to increase my chances of getting there. After only two weeks of Penny’s support my baby is now fully breastfed and gaining weight happily.

We’re very grateful to have had Penny visit us at home. We finally felt like somebody was actually listening to our concerns and that she was therefore able to give us specific direction, rather than generic advice.I would highly recommend Penny. With no family on-island she has been an amazing support and listening ear when we have needed her. Thank you Penny!

I would highly recommend contacting Penny for breastfeeding support - it was exactly what I needed at the right time! I contacted Penny when my son was a week old after a tricky start to breastfeeding. I was quite emotional and worried - she got back to me straight away on a Sunday afternoon and arranged to come and see us the following day. Her emails were so reassuring and positive that I immediately felt more relaxed. It was so helpful to talk through our concerns and the challenges we were facing, and Penny gave us some really useful advice and helpful ‘tips and tricks’!
