Baby Thrive IBCLC Arvostelua 

Sally helped me troubleshoot a few issues I had 6 weeks or so after birth. She was knowledgeable, helpful and kind. After being let down by a few other lactation consultants, it was fantastic to have someone reliable. Would recommend!

Sally is amazing! I got in touch with her before giving birth as I wanted to have an idea of what to expect from breastfeeding. She made things so much clear then, and kept texting me and asking for updates until I gave birth.
I then asked her to come and visit me at home to help me with latching and see how baby is breastfeeding. This was so helpful and so different from what I was told at the hospital when giving birth.

Overall, an absolutely amazing experience, and Sally is just a wonderful person. Would recommend to all first time moms to be, as otherwise it can be so hard to figure things out by yourself.

Sally gave me very helpful advice in the early stages of breastfeeding, including pump recommendations and fit, and was on hand for follow up questions and tongue tie advice. I'd recommend Sally to anyone wanting tailored support

Sally is friendly, knowledgeable, non-judgemental and works in a goal orientated manner (in an engaging way) which I think is very effective. I completely recommend Sally as a lactation consultant!

I am a first time mother and contacted Sally after having a very negative encounter with a midwife during an appointment. Sally was easy to book and extremely knowledgeable and put my concerns at ease and gave me confidence to continue on with my breastfeeding journey. Thank you Sally!

I am a first time mother and I was having some issues with breastfeeding. I found sally online, it was so easy to book an Appointment and I saw her home within a few days. The session was so helpful and offered me so much reassurance! Sally also has stayed in contacted to check in on my breastfeeding journey. I would highly recommend sally

Sally is completely wonderful. She helped so much when my daughter was just a couple of weeks old and then again when we were dealing with bottle refusal shortly before my return to work. Thanks to her help our feeding journey has become a joy rather than the source of stress it was to begin with.

Sally is knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging which is just what we needed in those early weeks of our baby's life, when everything is so new and raw! We were also struck by quite how gently, kindly and respectfully she interacted with our daughter, making the whole appointment a real pleasure for the whole family!

I can't thank Sally enough for all her help!

Sally was really great with her suggestions to help with my best feeding journey and I really appreciate her proactive approach in reaching out after the initial call to see how we were getting along and provide further help. I recommend getting in touch with her for any help regarding lactation and best feeding. Thanks Sally!

I had a wonderful experience with Sally's from Baby Thrive lactation consultant service. The support was kind, patient, and very reassuring during a time that can feel overwhelming. Everything was explained clearly, and I felt comfortable asking questions without any pressure or judgment.
The guidance I received made a real difference and helped me feel more confident in feeding my baby. I truly appreciate the care and professionalism, and I would highly recommend this service to any new parent who needs support.

I messaged a friend when I was close to give up on breastfeeding my second baby - baby not gaining weight as he should and my nipples bleeding. My friend recommended Sally. Sally was kind, non judgmental and her expertise was invaluable to us. I especially appreciated that she asked me questions about what I wanted rather than simply assuming and giving me standard advice. She came to our home and took her time. She wrote clear notes afterwards, which I still go back to. Four months on I’m still breastfeeding, even though it’s not been easy for us. When it feels tricky it’s always reassuring I can turn back to Sally should I need to. Could not recommend more.

I was facing a lot of issues with breastfeeding, and when Sally called around I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. She was gentle and pragmatic with her approach. Ultimately direct breastfeeding didn’t work out for me but she helped set me up with pumping. Thank you Sally!

I cannot recommend Sally highly enough. As a first-time mum, I came home from hospital feeling overwhelmed and struggling with latching. I really didn’t want to give up on breastfeeding, so booking a consultation with Sally was one of the best decisions my husband and I made.

Sally came to our home and was incredibly clear, empathetic, kind and discreet. She took the time to show me proper positioning, helped me improve my baby’s latch, and explained how to recognise whether my baby was feeding effectively. Everything was explained in a calm, reassuring way that immediately boosted my confidence.

She was extremely well prepared, professional, and genuinely caring. I never felt judged or rushed — only supported. Thanks to her guidance, breastfeeding became much more comfortable and positive for both me and my baby.

If you are a new parent struggling or simply wanting reassurance, Sally is absolutely fantastic. I’m so grateful for her support and expertise.

Thank you Sally!

After a difficult time in hospital, where I was left feeling that there was something ‘wrong’ with my feeding, Sally was just the warm, knowledgeable and calm presence that we needed. She offers gentle guidance, supports your natural attunement to your baby and helps you to feel confident in your capacity to breastfeed. I am extremely grateful to Sally for helping us find our way.

Can't thank Sally enough for her support during what I would say was one of the hardest parts of my life - breastfeeding journey! Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Even though I'd been through it all and learnt a lot myself, Sally's input was invaluable. If you're contemplating on whether you need the help - don't - just call her.

Sally came to the rescue when I was experiencing a lot of pain at the start of our breastfeeding journey. In the face to face consultation she was kind, sensitive and gave tailored advice and insights which were invaluable, even putting us in touch with another specialist who was able to treat our baby’s tongue tie.

Sally proactively followed up after the consultation over WhatsApp and continued to provide support for our changing circumstances.

On top of this, it’s clear that Sally really cares about both mum and baby, which is so reassuring during such a turbulent time.

Sally came to my house when I was struggling and feeling panicked about breast feeding due to having bigger boobs. She showed me various positions and sat and showed me how to get the right latch! I needed a bit more help so she came back against quick notice to help perfect the position. Sally was helpful with weight, tongue tie and made me feel comfortable and relaxed whilst learning this new “skill”. I would really recommend Sally, she we such a help to me and my baby is gaining weight at a good rate thanks to her!

Sally came to our home at short notice when we were really struggling with feeding and weight loss and overwhelmed with conflicting advice and a lack of other face to face help. Sally showed us various positions and techniques to help and supplement feeding which were really useful. Sally was also very realistic with her advice and pragmatic about how long I might need to be triple feeding in order to one day EBF again, which really helped manage my expectations and help us make an informed decision about how to proceed. Sally’s follow up email was really helpful and I would encourage anyone thinking of getting in touch with her to do it. I feel confident my feeding journey would not have been as positive as it has been without her help and kindness.

I had the pleasure of working with Sally for lactation consulting, and I can’t recommend her enough! She was able to fit me in for a last-minute first appointment, which was a huge relief. From the start, Sally took the time to understand my concerns and created a personalised plan to help increase my milk supply. The plan was clear and effective, and I saw improvements quickly.

Sally also provided me with a range of valuable resources to further educate myself on breastfeeding and improve my supply. She patiently answered all of my questions, no matter how small, and always made me feel heard and supported.

What really stood out was how kind and reassuring she was, especially during moments when I felt insecure about my breastfeeding journey. Her support made such a difference, and I truly felt more confident and empowered as a result. If you’re looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable lactation consultant, Sally is the one to see!

Sally was very helpful and reassuring in my breastfeeding journey. She provided great positioning tips and tricks, and also provided good advice regarding pumping and introducing a bottle to the baby - who took to it without any issues. Her post-visit WhatsApp support was invaluable, as the baby experienced some weight loss and we were figuring out why and how to address it. Will most certainly be reaching out to her again when returning to work and looking for a plan to continue breastfeeding the baby. Thanks for all the support and would easily recommend Sally to friends and family.

Sally was kind, patient and knowledgable and really helped me when I struggled massively with my early weeks breastfeeding. She gave me the confidence and practical tools to continue breastfeeding. Thank you!
