Meet our Lactation Expert – Leana

In the month of October, in support of breastcancer awareness, we are talking about the BIG questions concerning breastfeeding.

When I was in hospital – no wait a few weeks before M’s birth – I got really nervous about breastfeeding. I have heard so many horror stories and it did not seem like a pleasurable “duty”!
I decided to give Leana a call to just talk me through a good latch and breastfeeding.

Leana gently explained everything about breastfeeding and after about 30min on the phone she also send me some information on exactly what to do. She visited me in hospital and supported me where I needed support. I really trust her methods and want to share her knowledge with you.

Thank you Leana for sharing your heart, knowledge and passion with us!
Ps. I breastfed for 12+months and it was such a joy and special time for me and M!
