Who Can Benefit from Dr Chiu's Breastfeeding and Infant Sleep Consultations
Every family’s feeding and sleep journey looks different — and sometimes you just need support that’s calm, kind, and evidence-based.
You might benefit from a consultation if:
-
Feeding feels harder than you expected — pain, supply concerns, or questions about latch, expressing, or combination feeding.
-
Sleep feels like a battle — frequent wakes, short naps, or feeling unsure about what’s normal.
-
You’re navigating new challenges — returning to work, introducing solids, or supporting a baby with reflux, tongue-tie, or slow weight gain.
-
You want reassurance — to know your baby is thriving, and that you’re doing a great job even on the hard days.
These sessions are for anyone who wants practical, gentle support to help their baby sleep, feed, and grow — while protecting their own rest and confidence too.
