Baby Business | Early Parenting and Feeding Support Reviews

Bec has been amazing, providing consistent, sensible and evidence based support via teleheath during the six week post-partum period in which we received a lot of contradictory advice! She was friendly, approachable, and generally provided us with huge relief during this happy but also incredibly challenging time, helping us closer to our specific breastfeeding goals and explaining things patiently and promptly. Would happily recommend / would have engaged in F2F consults too, had we lived a little closer! Thank you.

I can’t recommend Bec enough. I found out about Baby Business through a midwife at the hospital I’d given birth at. My goal was to exclusively breastfeed but by day 4pp I was at breaking point. I was sore and exhausted and another midwife has suggested formula top ups. By 2 weeks pp I was 25% breastfeeding and 75% formula feeding. I felt deflated to say the least. One zoom meeting with Bec later, I’d managed to exclusively breastfeed with 24hrs. Just shy of 7 weeks pp and I’m still going strong. Thankyou Bec for your amazing guidance, support and encouragement. You’ve been my lifesaver and I truly don’t know if I would have been able to make my dream of EBF without you. From the bottom of Benjamin and my heart, Thankyou ❤️

Bec has been wonderful to work with, in our early days of breastfeeding. She has been approachable and knowledgeable across all aspects of baby, breastfeeding and parenting which has been so appreciated. She definitely helped us to continue our breastfeeding journey, which is amazing! The telehealth structure can be so convenient with a newborn, to receive help and guidance without needing to leave the house. I would recommend Bec to any expecting or new parents who need help or just want somewhere to ask all their questions!

I thought breastfeeding will come naturally but I experienced low supply and positioning difficulties because of my bilateral carpal tunnel since pregnancy. I almost give up , thankfully I contacted Bec before the first 6 weeks. I did couple of bulk billing session and she even made time before her work to come over to my place and educate me. I really appreciate it Bec, thanks for your compassion and knowledge. I managed to gain confident breastfeeding my bub anytime and anywhere😊

Amazing! Being my second baby and never being able to confidently breast feed my first I really wanted to achieve this. Bec was very relaxed and helped me achieve my goals. Bec also helped me wean off a shield at 10weeks which I thought would be a horrible experience. I believe that I wouldn’t have achieved this without Bec’s help and short term support. Only 3 sessions!!

Bec's knowledge and expertise have seriously been the cornerstone f my successful breastfeeding journey. Bec has informed and reassured me throughout my antenatal and post natal breastfeeding experience. Bec's knowledge is all research based and she really just has an excellent way of informing you on what is normal for a breastfeeding baby and breastfeeding journey. I highly recommend Bec's online video consults services.

I contacted Bec when I was having doubts about my breast feeding ability with my first baby. There wasn’t necessarily anything wrong but I felt I had a low supply and my baby was very unsettled. I had two zoom apps with Bec and both were so informative and helpful. Bec is so knowledgeable and her breadth of experience as both a midwife and lactation consultant can really be felt in both her approach and the info she provides. Even via Zoom I felt I received a very personal and thorough consult. The info she provided definitely helped me to feel more confident and in my breast feeding journey and also cleared up some info on tongue ties I’d had after being told my little boy needed some quite invasive surgery to get it rectified which I felt was not entirely accurate. I will be contacting Bec again when I return to work so we can come up with a plan so I can keep breastfeeding. Thank you so much Bec!

I contacted Bec in preparation for my second baby. I had so much trouble feeding with my first and felt that there was such little support. The support that I had found was also inconsistent and I could never get any clear answers or advice. Bec was so confident and really took the time to understand my circumstances as well as my new breastfeeding goals with baby number 2. She is incredibly knowledgeable, understanding and just a pleasure to speak to. I would recommend Bec time and time again.

I can’t recommend Bec enough or thank her enough for her time and knowledge that she shared with me in my home. A week prior to our catch up, I was given some very outdated advice from a child health nurse and it was not working for me. Thank god for Bec or that could have ruined my breastfeeding journey. Thanks Bec!

Posting on behalf of wife- I was really unsuccessful in breastfeeding our first child that when things didn't go to plan during the birth of our second, I knew I had to turn to someone for help. After looking through many reviews and costings of IBCLCs, despite them being worth their weight in gold, I didn't know how I was going to afford to pay for one. Someone recommended Bec from Baby Business, as she does bulk billed consults for the first 6 weeks. I thought, let's give this a go, I have nothing to lose. After sending Bec a message, she was able to squeeze me in due to our time sensitive situation. She took the time to listen and then gave thorough advice and tips. Bec then took the time to follow up our session with a resource list that has become invaluable to me as a guide to help in my feeding journey. Lastly, she was able to provide 'hands on' alterations via the phone consults which have stuck with me due to me having the make the alterations. I cannot thank Bec enough for giving EVERY women the chance to see an IBCLC by making it affordable and for being so kind, caring and understanding. Her advice and support has helped me be successful in breastfeeding this time round.

I found Bec when I was having trouble with my newborn taking the breast as he had began having a bottle preference. Bec helped and gave me tips and tricks on how to overcome the bottle preference and back taking the breast. After a week or so he was back on the breast with so much less hassle. I would highly recommend Bec, she’s the absolute best.

As first time parents, my husband and I felt nervous and underprepared for the arrival of our little one earlier this year. A friend recommended Bec to us and we could not be happier that she did. The in home parenting preparation session really helped build our confidence, and we were also able to contact Bec when our son was admitted to special care for some extra support to continue establishing breastfeeding. Our two follow up sessions after this were also invaluable and reassured us that everything was going well. Bec is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. I credit her for the so far successful, painless and minimally stressful breastfeeding and early parenting experience we’ve had so far.

After seeing couple of lactation consultants through my hospital, I reached out to Bec at Baby Business as my baby and I were still having difficulties with poor attachment leading to blocked ducts, mastitis, and long and painful feeds. I'm so glad I did! Over five sessions, Bec totally turned our breastfeeding journey around. Baby's attachment has improved dramatically and not only did thee issues above resolve, but baby also started sleeping longer too (could be a coincidence but I think the extra milk had something to do with it!). Bec is also a registered midwife so helped answer questions I had in other areas too. For babies under six weeks, online sessions can be bulk billed so there is nothing to loose! While our issues are now resolved, I plan to contact Baby Business again when I return to work and/or come to weening. Overall I can't recommend Bec and Baby Business highly enough!

I was referred to Bec by a friend before my bub was due. The pre birth consult was so informative and made me aware of so many things I had not given any thought to. The follow up emails with the information summary were very handy. The support leading up to and after bub was born was amazing and I would have been so lost without her. She would reply to questions so quickly and was very good at putting your mind at ease when there are so many emotions and so much stress. It’s made it a relatively simple journey to be able to exclusively breastfeed which I am extremely grateful for. Highly recommend!!

I had my beautiful little boy Harrison in March and we had a rough start to our breast feeding journey due to a tongue tie and latching issues, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Bec who was incredible in helping us achieve to where we are today. Bub is now almost 7 weeks and has been exclusively breastfeeding since 3 weeks of age. Bec was amazing in teaching me different positions and strategies to get the best possible latch. She supported me through the pumping stage and kept encouraging me to not give up, I'm forever grateful for her knowledge and support. Mothers day just passed I woke up with a clogged duct and in terrible pain, I flicked Bec a message and she promptly offered assistance and information on ways to help resolve the issue and her help literally saved me! 😂 For any mum struggling with breast feeding I highly recommend Bec. Thank you for all your help ❤

Bec is the only reason I was able to overcome eight weeks of pain and anguish about breastfeeding my little boy. She is kind, patient, understanding and incredibly knowledgeable. Her expertise and ability to provide a tailored plan for success is her biggest strength and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone preparing for a baby or currently struggling with feeding. Thank you Bec 🙏
