Lactation & Feeding Support

Navigating your baby's nutrition can be a challenge, but you don't have to do it alone. Our team provides expert lactation consulting and personalised feeding support for every stage of your baby's development. Whether you need assistance with breastfeeding, guidance on bottle feeding, or advice on introducing solids, we bring a wealth of knowledge to make your experience a positive one.

Lactation consultations at our Waverley branch are led by Sr. Natanya Palay, an Internationally Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), who brings both clinical expertise and a warm, judgement-free approach to every session.

What a lactation consultation covers

• Latch assessment and positioning support for breastfeeding
• Help with low milk supply, oversupply, engorgement or blocked ducts
• Guidance on combination feeding or transitioning to bottle/formula feeding
• Support for returning to work while continuing to breastfeed or pump
• Advice on introducing solids and moving through feeding milestones
• A weigh-in to check your baby is feeding effectively and gaining well

What to expect

Sessions take place in a private, comfortable space at our Waverley branch and typically run around 45 minutes [confirm], giving enough time to talk through your specific concerns, observe a feed, and leave with a clear plan. A standalone lactation consultation is R420 — see our Pricing page for full details.

What to bring

• Your baby's Road to Health Book / clinic card, if you have one
• Any pump or feeding equipment you're currently using, if relevant
• A list of questions or concerns — nothing is too small to ask
