We found Faye just in time, from day one our baby was not latching and we were struggling with bottle feeding. Faye helped us get the tongue tie referral we needed and helped us find a way to get our baby latched, she gave us a plan to work towards and we have taken a step in the right direction, Faye has been so helpful and without her we would of given up, now we have a happy and content baby. Thankyou

Faye offered me so much encouragement , she put a plan together which enabled me to balance my time between feeding my newborn and being a busy mum to a demanding toddler. I found my session so reassuring and now feel so much more confident. Thankyou Faye so much.
