Lactation Consulting in Geelong & feeding support is available from Felicity, an Endorsed Midwife and qualified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Support is inclusive, catering for all families and at every stage during your feeding journey.
Visits are conducted in your home in Geelong and surrounding areas. I come to you!
​
Together we will work to support your feeding goals and personal preferences (no judgement here!), create feeding plans or address specific feeding concerns. A pregnancy and birthing history is taken which helps to identify and address the cause of common feeding challenges. As Felicity is an endorsed midwife, visits attract Medicare rebates.
