Lactation Consultant Orla Dorgan Reviews

Orla was amazing. Fit me in for a home visit so quickly as it was essential to get things sorted ASAP. She has a very calming presence, and is so knowledgeable and reassuring. Provided lots of vital information and handy tips. Answered all follow up questions/emails promptly. Would highly recommend.

I recently had an online consultation with Orla about weaning my daughter who is refusing to take a bottle. Everything she said made sense and it was fantastic to receive a practical plan to follow. Would highly recommend.

Orla was really helpful, patient, empathetic and understanding during our online consultation and I left the call with new ideas to try!

Orla was very knowledgeable and understanding during our consultation. She really listened to my concerns and offered practical and helpful advice. Thank you Orla.

I recently booked an online consultation with Orla after hearing from her via recommendations from friends and family. Orla immediately made me feel safe, comfortable and at ease. I got so much out of our chat as Orla answered all my questions and then some! I feel much more prepared and ready to start on my breastfeeding journey and so secure knowing that if we do encounter any hiccups, that Orla will be there to help. I fully recommend anyone having a baby to sign up to her classes or consults.

I highly recommend Orla. She did a home visit with me and the advice she gave was so helpful. Orla always responded very promptly with any questions I had following the consultation.
She has a wealth of knowledge and very friendly.

I booked an online consultation with Orla and learnt so much within the hour. Orla is so friendly and knowledgeable and really helped me with any concerns I had. Orla has been available for follow up questions since our consultation and has been a huge help to me. I would highly recommend checking out Orla instagram page too as she has so many informative posts to help families on their journeys. Thank you Orla for all of your help!

Orla has been so helpful in guiding me through my breastfeeding journey. I had a one to one consultation when my little one was 6 weeks old due to some weight gain concerns. Orla listened to my concerns, observed feeding and developed a comprehensive care plan which meant I could continue to exclusively BF. She was also available over email for follow ups/questions which felt really supportive. Her instagram is full of information and brilliant tips so make sure to check that out! I’m hoping to take her Return to work class down the line

Hi Orla. Just an update for you. Little one is now sleeping through the night, no breastfeeding since Wednesday last week. If she asks for it I remind her that she drank it all! If she does wake during the night I take her out for 2min of hugs and then she goes back in and straight to sleep. We prioritize hugs and cuddles in morning or after I get in from work. That consultation with you was so beneficial and made the weaning such a smooth, gentle process for her and for I. I didn’t shed one tear as I knew time was right for us both and that she was ready for this. Thank you so much for your guidance, it’s amazing xx

Orla’s course was fantastic, it gave me great confidence starting breastfeeding and made the whole experience easier 🥰
She is a wealth of knowledge and always happy to answer a question is so helpful.

I did Orla's Introduction to Breastfeeding Class Online and found it so informative! Lots and lots of very practical and real life information.

I booked an online consultant with Orla and I highly recommend.
She is very friendly and easy chat to. It’s my first time breast feeding. Using her advice & with some adjustments I’m now really enjoying my breast feeding journey. Thanks so much Orla 😃

I cannot recommend Orla enough. I booked a consultation with her when I ran in to supply issues and she was so helpful, kind and full of knowledge. Her follow up support was fantastic and really helped to keep me on track to resolve any issues.

Orla was amazing. Very professional and supportive. I have a much calmer baby now 😃

I would highly recommend Orla's antenatal breastfeeding class to all expectant parents. I feel far more reassured and confident after it. Orla is practical, calming and totally open minded and non-judgmental. She empowers you to do whatever is right for you. It's also a nice safety net to have her contact in the event of any bumps in the road and the knowing that everything is resolvable with the right support! X

Fantastic class! I learned so much and feel more confident now. Orla delivered the content clearly, gave lots of demonstrations and took time to answer everyone’s questions. I would highly recommend this class to anyone planning on breastfeeding.

Would highly recommend attending Orla's introduction to Breast feeding if you are starting out. Its a great confidence builder with lots of tips throughout. We're learned lots.

I would highly recommend Orla, she is full of knowledge, advice and her friendly, kind personality is exactly what you need post partum. I booked a one hour consultation with Orla when my baby was 2 weeks old, even though it was my third breastfeeding journey I gained so much knowledge and confidence from the 1 hour call. Within a few days her advice was working and my baby was gaining weight and feeding more efficiently. She was there to support over the days that followed. Her encouragement and guidance really gave me confidence and now at 8 weeks we are flying it on our breastfeeding journey. I often refer to her instagram page for tips as well. Thanks so much Orla for being there x

I had an online consult with Orla. She helped me and my baby ease back into breastfeeding after exclusively pumping from week 2 to week 7 due to my baby being hospitalised. I spoke to so many experts in person after this time and from a short but very effective video call with Orla we were back on track, with all the knowledge fom the best latch and most comfort for me. She also kept in contact monitoring my babies weight growth and was there to answer any queries. My baby is now 7 months old and still breastfeeding.
Highly recommend Orlas service- so knowledgeable and kind.

I attended Orla’s online breastfeeding course for both my pregnancies & I can honestly say I would never have had the successful breastfeeding journeys if it wasn’t for the knowledge, skills & confidence her course gave me. Maybe you want to breastfeed exclusively, maybe breastfeed & give a bottle to your little one, regardless of your preferences, Orla’s course will provide you with all the best knowledge you need to succeed. I would 1000% recommend, it is money well spent in my opinion! Thank you Orla.
