A passionate supporter

and trained infant feeding consultant

My family and I experienced the importance of skilled and peer to peer support during my own feeding journeys. This led to a desire to support others and an ongoing interest in learning as much as possible about infant feeding.

Since first training as an infant feeding peer supporter in 2021, I have supported many families, often ongoing throughout their time feeding their children and beyond in a more emotional capacity.

I have also informally donated my breast milk to several families, as well as become the first official donor for Southampton Milk Bank on the Isle of Wight and am a huge advocate for milk donors and recipients.

Feeding your way

Unbiased and judgement free

I feel strongly about families being able to access unbiased, evidence-based, judgement-free information and support.

Whilst my lived experience is of breastfeeding, I strive to ensure families who need or choose to use formula or donated breast milk are also able to get support.

“It is clear there is an assumption that everyone just knows how to bottle feed or use formula and that those doing so don’t require any input like those breastfeeding do”.

Through my work with families, it has become clear that this very much isn’t the case and everyone needs support at some point regardless of the feeding method.

Testimonials

"I cannot recommend Chloe highly enough for her support throughout our feeding journey, especially during such a challenging time. From the very start, Chloe was there to help us prepare before our twins’ arrival. She gave us so much useful information and guidance on breastfeeding, which made us feel confident and prepared for breastfeeding twins.

When our twins were born, Chloe was a steady source of support in the hospital. She was there to help with latching, showing us how to get the babies positioned correctly, and offering valuable tips for pumping to help up my milk supply. Her patience, expertise, and encouragement made such a difference during those first crucial days and weeks!

Then, when I faced a medical emergency and we had to switch to combi feeding and then solely formula feeding, Chloe’s support didn’t end. She helped our family through the transition with kindness and understanding, helping us feel reassured and confident in our new feeding plans. Her non-judgmental approach and genuine concern for both my health and my babies' well-being made all the difference in this emotional time.

Chloe has been a true blessing on our journey. I am incredibly grateful for her professional expertise and the warmth she brought every step of the way".

Sophie

"Myself and my family feel so fortunate to have had Chloe by our side through our feeding journey. From my wife being pregnant and preparing to breastfeed our twins to combination feeding when my wife had a medical emergency to then having to formula feed - Chloe has supported our family every step of the way.

Her expertise and kindness has truly made a huge difference to our lives".

Ashley

"We met Chloe when our eldest son was just 4 weeks old. She came into our lives through her sling library and has been a beautiful realm of support for us ever since.

Chloe offered her support during a sling consultation, helping to reassure me during a feed that my positioning with my son was okay and gave me useful tips and pointers on how to adjust him to get a better latch and for my own comfort. Combining this with learning how to feed whilst carrying in a sling was a game changer. Chloe is so well read and researched you can talk to her about more than just feeding. She helped us with baby led weaning, information on home birth and has just been the most beautiful point of contact in times of worry when needing reassurance.

You’ll get a lot of feeding support from Chloe but also learn a wealth of information about other areas that will impact your baby in the most positive way possible. I’d recommend Chloe to everyone with a new born and anyone who still wants a little support when feeding an older child".

Let's Talk

Through my work with families, the importance of a safe space, a kind listening ear and emotional support has really shone through and these are just as valuable as practical support.

Support from me is usually offered in the comfort of your own home where partners, friends and family are all welcome to join. It’s an opportunity for families to receive information and support that is completely tailored and allows for open discussion, questions and a safe space to talk about feeding your baby.

There is no specific agenda or content. The service is offered on an hourly basis, so the support can be tailored to you. I recommend contacting me in advance to briefly discuss the topics you’re interested in. I also include on-going support via WhatsApp.
