What is a Breastfeeding Medicine Doctor?
A Breastfeeding Medicine Doctor is a doctor with specialised training in lactation and infant feeding, able to work through complex feeding concerns in longer appointments - alongside the everyday GP care you’d expect.
I am a GP Registrar (GP in training) and came into medicine to become a women’s health GP. During my medical journey, I have become a mum to three wonderful little humans, each with their own breastfeeding journeys. It’s from my personal experience that I developed a passion for breastfeeding medicine and strengthening my desire to support women and families in navigating conception, pregnancy, post-partum, and infant feeding and sleep.
Alongside my GP training, I am completing my Neuroprotective Developmental Care Accreditation and Lactation Fellowship, completing the requirements to become a board certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and extended skills through RANZCOG Certificate of Women’s Health. My goal is to provide holistic care, grounded in evidence, aligned to you and your family’s values and needs.
