Lactation Consultant Orla Dorgan Reviews

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.

Great course! Very informative and realistic.

Attended Orla’s introduction to breastfeeding course today and found it so beneficial. It is clear that Orla is a fountain of knowledge - she covers all topics, even the ones you might not have thought of but could come up as you start your breastfeeding journey! I feel so much better empowered and prepared for this journey and also have a sense of comfort knowing that I can reach out to her in the future if I encounter any issues. I would highly recommend this course to any mother interested in learning more about breastfeeding and how to start.

Valuable knowledge to prepare me for returning to work while breastfeeding, allaying my worries and offering simple solutions to make family life easier.

I met with Orla twice, once for a home consult when my little boy was 8 weeks old and again four weeks later for a mini consult via zoom. The reassurance which Orla gave me paved the way for such an enjoyable breastfeeding journey. Orla is extremely knowledgable and such a warm, friendly person which is exactly what I needed in those early weeks. Thank you for all of your help Orla! Jennifer and Baby Jack

Such an interesting course! I learnt so much and feel a lot more prepared for the journey ahead now ☺️

Having attended Orla's breastfeeding class and having a consultation to solve issues with feeding and supply, I can highly recommend both. The breastfeeding class is very informative in preparation for commencing your breastfeeding journey and the book received with the breastfeeding course is invaluable source of information in the first few days and weeks when you are unsure weather you are doing right or wrong! The one to one consultation helped me continue breastfeeding as I was really considering giving up! Orla gave me great tips and solutions for issues I was having. The follow up support is a also fantastic. Thank you Orla!

Highly recommend consultation with Orla! She’s super helpful, warm and knowledgeable.

I attended Orla's class during pregnancy and it made me feel informed and ready for the journey ahead. My partner sat in on the class and as a result was able to offer me loads of helpful advice that I was too tired to remember in the first few weeks of feeding. I refered to Orla's book a lot in the first few weeks too. I ended up having trouble with an oversupply and had a house visit with Orla and she helped me to work through it and gave lots of helpful advice and support at time I was definitely feeling vulnerable and exhausted. Orla arrived at the house with lots of enthusiasm and such a positive attitude. I am a few months into breastfeeding now and really enjoying it. Thanks Orla for giving us such a positive start!

Orla was a great help to me after my baby's tongue tie was released. She showed me some different breastfeeding holds and small tweaks really helped with my baby's latch and helped me too as breastfeeding was very sore due to the tongue tie and difficulty latching her on properly. Thanks again Orla Olivia and Caragh

Orla is so personable, knowledgeable and helpful. She definitely understands the stress of bottle refusal, and has a host of tips to help!

Orla is an absolute fountain of knowledge about all things baby and breastfeeding - that's obvious to anyone who follows her Insta bgram profile. Her Introduction to vBreastfeeding course was absolutely invaluable to me as I prepared for the birth of my first baby. I felt confident, well equipped and positive about starting breastfeeding. I took the handbook to hospital with me and it was brilliant to have there as a guide- to look up any questions I had about 'speed bumps' along the way. My baby is almost 6 weeks old now, and thanks to Orlas help she is thriving! I recently had a small issue with a blocked milk duct,whipped out the book and following Orlas guidance it was cured in a few hours! I could not recommend Orla enough. She is simply a genius in her field!
