Helping a Mum Breastfeed with Confidence Before Moving Overseas

CLIENT PROFILE

A second-time stay-at-home mum in her 20s | Baby 2 weeks old | Staying in a small room at family’s place, preparing to move abroad soon

Service rendered: Postnatal breastfeeding support

WHERE MUM WAS BEFORE WE STARTED WORKING TOGETHER:

This mum was determined to breastfeed — but something wasn’t working. Her baby latched, suckled for a bit, then fell asleep. Mum tried adjusting positions, doing breast compressions, and re-latching, but something still felt off. Mum was starting to wonder: Is she really drinking? Is this normal? She hoped breastfeeding would feel natural, but instead, she felt unsure and alone.

WHAT DID OUR WORK LOOK LIKE:

In a 90-minute 1:1 session, we focused on what would help baby breastfeed more effectively and what would help mum feel more confident in the process:

• Helped baby latch more deeply

• Found a comfortable feeding position for mum in her small bedroom, on the bed

• Encouraged her to offer the breast frequently and flexibly—not just for hunger, but to keep baby settled

• Reframed what was going on so she could trust her instincts and explain baby’s needs to family

We stayed in touch closely after the session — she sent updates and questions as things shifted, and I was there to walk alongside her as she kept experimenting.

RESULTS:

By the end of the session, baby’s latch was deeper, and mum started noticing more swallowing sounds. She felt clearer and more confident about how feeding was going.

From her messages:

“Before you came, she really didn’t make swallowing sounds. I think I got a few more now.”

WHAT STOOD OUT FOR ME:

Mum was preparing to relocate overseas, and her motivation to breastfeed ran deep — she wanted to make sure her baby had safe, nourishing, and reliable food straight from her body. We took a strengths-based lens to our work together, identifying her  determination and deep sense of purpose as key strengths. By tapping into that, she stayed focused and kept practicing and experimenting with breastfeeding around the clock — even in the tight space of a small room at family’s place. 

How this mum found a more sustainable pumping routine & better milk supply after returning to work

CLIENT PROFILE

A first-time mum | Baby 4 months old | Data analyst back at work and trying to keep up with pumping

Service rendered: Postnatal breastfeeding support

WHERE MUM WAS BEFORE WE STARTED WORKING TOGETHER:

This mum had just returned to work and was power pumping 2–3 times a day, spending about an hour each time trying to keep up with her baby’s needs. But despite her efforts, her milk supply wasn’t improving. She was exhausted, frustrated, and it was starting to affect her work. She didn’t just need to “try harder” —she wanted a plan that actually fit her.

WHAT DID OUR WORK LOOK LIKE:

Our 1:1 consultation revealed the key issue: a wrong flange size was making pumping ineffective.

From there, we made focused, sustainable changes:

• Corrected her flange size to improve pumping efficiency

• Introduced side-lying breastfeeding to get rest during night feeds

• Adjusted her weekend routine to include more frequent, flexible feeds

• Designed a short, realistic pumping schedule for workdays

• Taught paced bottle-feeding to support smoother transitions

She also had a week of messaging support after the session, where we fine-tuned strategies based on her body’s response and her daily reality.

RESULTS:

Mum moved from daily burnout to a rhythm that actually worked for her. Her milk supply improved, pumping felt more productive, and she got time and energy back for herself and everything else.

As she said:

“I don’t feel stuck trying to pump, and now I feel productive — not just with collecting milk, but in everything else too!”

WHAT STOOD OUT FOR ME:

Mum had already tried so hard before we met. What made the difference wasn’t more effort — it was seeing what wasn’t quite working, and making little changes that actually fit her life. She was all in when it came to trying something different, and once we found what worked, she moved forward with more ease and confidence. It was honestly so lovely to see.
