At MIWM we know every baby is different. Our services cover a range of areas which aim to help the mother and baby relationship thrive and provide ongoing support so you feel prepared and confident when it comes to your child.

While our main focus is on breastfeeding, we acknowledge the rich diversity in our families and provide expert support in mixed and formula feeding dyads.

Antenatal Breastfeeding Preparation

At MIWM we believe that prevention is better than cure, so come in for an antenatal consultation to discuss any infant feeding concerns including but not limited to:

• Diabetes, PCOS, breast assessments
• Overcoming previous breastfeeding challenges
• Induced lactation for surrogacy and same sex parents (best done as early as possible in the pregnancy)
• Education regarding common breastfeeding problems and how to avoid or overcome them
• Antenatal expression and storage of colostrum

Infant Feeding Support

The vast majority of infant feeding issues can be improved through optimizing fit and hold. At MIWM we will support your infant feeding needs through:

• Optimising positioning, milk transfer and infant growth
• Mixed and formula feeding support, including expressing and storing milk
• Tongue tie assessment and management

Maternal Breastfeeding Support

While breastfeeding is the most natural infant feeding option, it is still a learnt behaviour by both mother and baby. Should you run into problems we are able to assist with:

• Pain, engorgement, low supply, over supply
• Mastitis, breast abscesses, blocked ducts, thrush, vasospasm, dermatitis
• Return-to-work planning including expressing and storing milk, introduction of bottles, gentle weaning
