“Sofia was so supportive and informative at all stages of my breastfeeding journey with my second child. There were many problems that I encountered and I can honestly say I wouldn’t have been able to continue for so long without the encouragement, kindness and expertise of Sofia. I would thoroughly recommend seeking her advice, she is fantastic!”

“Breastfeeding just seemed so simple. Lots of well-meaning advice at antenatal classes about how it shouldn’t hurt and you just needed to do x,y,z to make it work. Unfortunately, admission to hospital with mastitis, sepsis and a breast abscess gave me a crash landing in just how complex this field is. 

I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and scared, looking after my 7 day old baby and not knowing what to do. I received conflicting advice from well-meaning midwives about how to position baby and how to approach feeding/pumping. 

Sofia helped me with a cool head and a warm heart. She helped me to relax and optimise feeding, and I was able to seek her expert advice to work through various problems that cropped up over the course of my illness. I finally felt reassured that the advice I was getting was correct, and I could finally start enjoying my breastfeeding journey (which is still going strong nearly 8 months later).”

“Sofia helped me with my 3rd baby when she was 5 weeks old. I had fed my two sons til 2 years+ so it came as a shock when #3 wasn't gaining weight as expected. She was so calm and patient with us both and so knowledgeable about what could have been going wrong and how to turn things around it was super-reassuring. She gave me both face to face time and a heap of resources to use, her assistance was invaluable. She also had a magic touch with babies which is just what you want when you are exhausted with a frustrated newborn! I would heartily recommend seeing Sofia if you feel something isn't quite right with your feeding.”

“With my second baby, after some advice that I found patronising from my health visitor, I stopped breast feeding much earlier than I actually wanted. Sofia was the first person who I felt actually listened to me, she gave me fantastic practical advice, and kept me going with supportive text messages. She helped me to increase my supply and breastfeed my baby until I felt ready to stop. I wish I'd asked her for advice after my first baby, as I still think about my relationship with breast feeding and just how emotional the journey can be.”

“Sofia was an absolute godsend and played a major role in my continuing to breastfeed my baby until he was over a year old. I planned to return to work when my baby was only 14 weeks old and had received quite a few discouraging comments from other healthcare professionals/mothers when I mentioned my hope of expressing breastmilk at work. Thankfully Sofia was on hand with a wealth of experience of breast pumps and expressing milk. She reassured me that my plans were possible and that in many other countries, returning to work and expressing milk is commonplace. Sofia was able to provide practical advice on hospital grade breast pumps and how to express hands free at work using a pumping bra and breastfeeding cover. 

I am amazed to say that despite all of my worries, our baby was exclusively fed breastmilk until 9 months. I continued to breastfeed him when I was at home until he was around 13 months and felt happy that I had been able to give him the best possible start in life.”
