About
Hi, Im Deirdre, a London based IBCLC Lactation Consultant and Registered Nurse with almost a decade of Infant Feeding Support experience. I have a deep passion for supporting families through the early days of breastfeeding and providing compassionate, practical and evidence based support to parents, helping them to achieve their feeding goals. As a mother of two daughters, I know first hand how rewarding breastfeeding can be, but I also know that it's certainly not always easy.
I was an Emergency Nurse in London for 17 years, with experience in both adults and paediatric emergency care. I became a Breastfeeding Peer Support Volunteer, after I received wonderful care with feeding my first child, volunteering locally for many years. This ignited a passion for providing breastfeeding education and support to new parents and I decided to retrain as a Lactation Consultant in 2023. I have been working in an Infant Feeding role within the NHS since early 2024, supporting familes antenatally and postnatally, which has included antenatal education and breastfeeding support both within hospital and community settings. I bring a calm, compassionate, clinical perspective to what can often feel like an overwhelming time. Whether you're navigating latch issues, milk supply concerns or simply looking for reassurance and guidance, I'm here to help you feel confident and informed.
I offer tailored support in a non-judgemental space, meeting you where you are, whether that's during pregnancy, in the newborn stage or beyond. Every feeding journey is different and I'd be honoured to be part of yours.
