What our clients say
Sharmin, Essex
Michelle always made time to respond and explain what I needed to know thoroughly. I had a lovely experience with Michelle, and she reassured me that I can breast feed all I needed was showing how to carry it out. She took her time to write down tips and advice which is helpful as I can always looks back at it and reflect. I thought I wouldn't be able to breastfeed, and I was nearing to giving up however after a few hours with her it encouraged me to keep trying. She advised me on that I should always massage before expressing and I can gently squeeze once the baby is latched on.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Michelle from Baby Care Consultancy. After having trouble breastfeeding my first baby due to enlarged nipples and a tongue tie, I had to switch to formula at four months. With my baby being born on Christmas Day, I felt like there was barely any support available, which left me with a real fear of breastfeeding.
When my second child came along, I was really anxious but wanted to give breastfeeding another shot. Things started off well, but I ran into some issues with nipple trauma after a week. That’s when I met Michelle, and she was like a breath of fresh air. She reassured me and gave me the confidence I needed to keep going. She was super flexible with video calls to help with my technique and kept me motivated. Even though we’re three hours apart, she was always available and quick to respond.
Thanks to Michelle’s support, I was able to overcome the tough times and fears. I was able to breastfeed until my son started solids. I definitely recommend Baby Care Consultancy and have seen how Michelle has helped my friend too. I’ll definitely be coming back for future support. Thanks so much, Michelle!
Rhiannon, Birmingham
During my pregnancy I always knew I wanted to breast feed my baby, everyone has heard of the saying 'breast is best' and like others I wanted my son to have the best.
After he was born trying to get him to latch was proving difficult, I was referred to the hospital infant feeding team as an outpatient and even saw the team prior to my discharge yet I felt as though the service wasn't much help as I still struggled, causing my nipples to get sore and painful very quickly. I persevered as I didn't want to give up on giving my son the "liquid gold". I was kindly introduced to Michelle by a family member and it's safe to say I now highly enjoy breastfeeding my son and no longer have that fear surrounded by getting him to latch and the pain I used to endure.
My interactions with Michelle were virtual, I was amazed by how knowledgeable and passionate she is when it comes to breast feeding and sharing her knowledge with others. I also found Michelle to be very approachable and contactable which helped me a lot at times when I was struggling and needed some advice.
I'd 110% recommend Michelle to expectant and breast feeding mom's
Abiola, Pennsylvania
Michelle is simply amazing!
When I had my second child, I was so determined to breastfeed because I had difficulty breastfeeding my first.
Because of Covid and limited support in the US, I reached out to Michelle and she went above and beyond to provide support. She shared different techniques, tools to incorporate, meals and supplements to boost milk supply. She was so good I had her on speed dial when I had my 3rd baby.
Michelle is patient, kind, knowledgeable, consistent and passionate about mum and baby breastfeeding journey! I highly recommend her.
Tanisha, Bedfordshire

Thank you so much Michelle.
Yusra,
West Sussex
Michelle was so amazing and she helped me so much to meet my goals. I had a difficult time feeding my baby and apparently nobody could help me except Michelle.
The knowledge she has is absolutely mind blowing. Honestly I recommend her to all new mamas and my friends.
Dorcas, London
Michelle was very professional, such an amazing teacher and made it very easy for me to understand breastfeeding.
She was very patient and gave me the opportunity to ask questions and was willing to repeat and go over anything that I may have missed or was unsure about.
Thank you for such an amazing experience.
For anyone looking to book do not hesitate! You definitely won't be disappointed!
Heidi, Essex
Our appointment with Michelle was incredibly helpful. We found that Michelle was kind, warm, attentive, and empathetic. The appointment was thorough, I felt heard throughout and Michelle provided some tips we could implement immediately. The report was detailed and helpful to refer back to, and importantly Michelle was wonderful with our little one.
I would recommend Michelle’s services to anyone breastfeeding to assist with a smooth and informed journey.
Beth, Essex
We contacted Michelle for support a week after our twins came home for the hospital to support with latching concerns. She was able to fit us in at short notice, and came to us to save us trying to get out of the house in those early days. She gave invaluable advice, and followed up with lots of extra help over the coming week virtually. We are still on a journey but feel much more positive about our ability to do so thanks to her support. Thank you, Michelle.
Yully,
West Sussex
My consultation with Michelle was really useful as I had had problems with the latching of my baby for almost 2 months. Michelle was patient with me and explained me many positions that worked immediately, also she explained some advantages of breastfeeding that I didn't have any idea. She called me days after just to know about my progress.
Thanks Michelle for your help.

Mona,

As a first time mom breastfeeding was really challenging for me like most of the mom’s, but with the guidance and advice of Michelle I was able to overcome these challenges very easily. She has always been very helpful regarding any issues I have faced during my breastfeeding journey.
Zakiyah, Essex
I contacted Michelle the Saturday before Xmas as I was in desperate need of an LC to help me over the holiday period, and she got back to me straight away and came the same day to see me. She really took her time and even stayed past the two hours to help me with my latching issues! She really knows what she’s talking about and since seeing her my baby hasn’t had any issues with latching on. She was really gentle and soft in her approach, makes you feel really comfortable and helps you feel good and confident about yourself which is really what you need in the postpartum period. Also super affordable! Thank you Michelle ♥️
Liz, Essex
Michelle has been an absolute star - I've had a really tough time breastfeeding, due to various factors, but she's really made a significant impact on not just my breastfeeding journey, but my outlook and mental health. The virtual support she provides after the consultation is fantastic as well, and has made me feel so much more confident that I'm doing everything I can to ensure the health and happiness of my baby. Thank you Michelle!
Maria, Essex
After having mastitis for 2 weeks I finally found Michelle to help me with my problem. She was really helpful and showed me how to massage correctly the breast myself and gave me a lot of information and advice. She was so supportive. I totally recommend Michelle for her professionalism. Thank you so much.
Nichola, Essex
I contacted Michelle at baby care consultancy as my 6 week old baby girl was having difficulties with feeding, both breast and bottle.
Michelle responded promptly to my enquiries and immediately recognised that there was an issue through our conversation and an appointment was made. She quickly recognised that my daughter had tongue tie which was the cause of our problems. Michelle is amazing. She supported us in feeding more comfortably until the tongue tie could be corrected. Giving lots of recommendations and guidance with various areas around feeding, including follow up care. We can't thank you enough for your help.
Marian, London
I was incredibly fortunate to find Michelle during one of the most challenging moments of my early motherhood journey. After my baby experienced some slight weight loss, hospital midwives immediately suggested formula supplementation, a recommendation that left me feeling defeated as I had my heart set on exclusively breastfeeding.
Enter Michelle - a true guardian angel for new mothers. From our first conversation, her warm and reassuring approach instantly put me at ease. She promptly arranged a home visit, understanding the urgency of the situation and my emotional state.
What sets Michelle apart is her perfect balance of technical expertise and emotional support. During her visit, she patiently educated me on proper breastfeeding techniques, worked with me to improve my baby's latch, and gave me practical strategies that dramatically reduced my nipple soreness. Most importantly, she instilled in me the confidence I desperately needed during those uncertain early days.
The results speak for themselves, three months later, my baby is exclusively breastfed, thriving at the perfect weight, and our breastfeeding relationship is stronger than ever. I'm absolutely convinced that without Michelle's intervention, my breastfeeding journey would have ended prematurely.
Michelle's care extends beyond her initial visit, she still checks in periodically to ensure we're doing well. This ongoing support demonstrates her genuine commitment to the families she serves.
If you're struggling with breastfeeding or simply want expert guidance from the start, I cannot recommend Michelle's services highly enough. She truly changed our lives and helped me achieve the breastfeeding experience I always hoped for.
Lady T, Essex
My daughter wouldn’t latch after a month of struggling and after speaking to my health visitor she suggested local breastfeeding clinics. I started my research and came across the baby consultancy which offered one to one breastfeeding support in the comfort of your own home. The session with Michelle was two hours and I did wonder what we would cover in that two hours. The service provided is invaluable Michelle is really polite bubbly friendly and she knows her stuff. She’s leaves you feeling much better in yourself and more confident and this is my second child I felt a bit defeated as we had such a shaky start with baby being in nicu for 9days. Michelle taught gentle breast massages to help release milk in my breast. Power pumping to increase supply the correct way to hold baby when feeding and what positions work best with large breasts. Using pillows etc and how to be comfortable.
Baby wouldn’t latch during our session Michelle had a look in babies mouth and realised she was tongue tied. It wasn’t a very obvious one but it made feeding harder. She wrote a report and took details of our health visiting team and GP to write a recommendation letter on the tongue tie for us to get a referral. She assured me to persevere with expressing and breastfeeding. And after two days baby finally latched!
She continued contact for 7days via telephone and messages. She sent very informative videos on everything I was taught that I could refer back too. I am so grateful to Michelle for all her help and guidance and I highly recommend her services for anyone struggling with feeding
Kezbarse, Essex
We had such a positive experience with Michelle.
She offered solutions to feeding difficulties based on my individual circumstances and was available when to answer my (many) questions and queries.
I don’t know whether I’d have been able to continue breast feeding if I had not had my session with, and support from, Michelle
Jenniffer,
East Sussex
Michelle has been a life saver; besides useful knowledge and guidance personalised to my case she is super kind and stresses on a positive attitude towards the breastfeeding journey despite complications . Looking forward to keep receiving the benefits of the consultation guidelines and next steps.
H, Essex
Michelle's knowledge and approach is second to none. Having had issues with nursing strikes and nipple aversion, Michelle recognised that my little one had a tongue tie (which had not been identified by paediatricians or our GP) within moments of her initial assessment of my little one. She supported me throughout our session to successfully latch my ten week old and it was amazing to be able to nurse once more. Throughout the session, Michelle provided useful tips and advice which I still use today.
What is most amazing about Michelle is her dedication! Following our appointment, she managed to make a referral for us to a tongue tie specialist to be seen the same week. Her level of aftercare and support following our session was incredible and exactly what I needed to be able to continue my breastfeeding journey. I will be eternally grateful to Michelle for her warmth, care and compassion during a stressful and challenging time as a first time mother.
Remy, London
Michelle is brilliant for new mums looking for practical advice that really works. Googling and scrolling through pages can be overwhelming when looking for advice but this one on one service supports you with tailored information and checks in regularly to make sure you and your baby are getting exactly what you need. After one session I was so happy I immediately recommended her to other mums who I knew would benefit from a crash course in breastfeeding and a positive reminder that they're doing a brilliant job!
Alexandra, Essex
Thank you to the amazing Michelle at Babycare Constancy for her help! She is not only a great lactation consultant but offered a lot of all-round support, really reflecting the name of the company - it is more than just lactation. So many great tips and also fabulous follow up. Thank you and highest recommendation!
Sophie, Essex
I had an online consultation and was really impressed with the experience. She was incredibly professional, reassuring, and made me feel at ease throughout. I especially appreciated the regular check-ins, which made the process feel very supportive and personal. The type-up of the report was clear, detailed, and really helpful for next steps. Overall, a great experience—I’d definitely recommend her services to others!
Sheli, London
I could not praise Michelle's skills, knowledge, attention and care enough! From the moment I contacted her, she was very responsive and dedicated and treated my son and I in the most caring way possible. She helped me identify and get rid of some blocked ducts in my breasts, gave me advice on breastfeeding positions, pumping techniques, how to increase my milk supply, etc. She also examined my son's tongue tie and referred us to a specialist straight away, so we could have it checked and ultimately cut, which improved breastfeeding so much. I could not thank Michelle enough and I recommend her to everyone who has any breastfeeding questions or issues, she is the best! Thank you, Michelle!
Timoy, Jamaica
