Lactation Consultant – Karen Gage
Once you have had your baby, I will be on the ward assisting you when you may be feeling the most vulnerable. Breastfeeding can be a difficult task to master but I will be there to help you and your baby offering support. Each day at 11 am we have breastfeeding and sleep/settling education sessions to assist you and your partner to grow in confidence to manage your new baby. I have more than 20 years of experience as a midwife/lactation consultant/child and family nurse working in the hospital and community settings. I successfully breastfed my own son for 15 months, this experience plus my own knowledge has equipped me with the skills to help you with breastfeeding your new baby. I look forward to meeting you on our postnatal ward.
