"Breastfeeding helps you and your baby feel connected and attached to each other, weaving an emotional cord to replace the umbilical cord" - The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, La Leche League.

Your own instincts will help you to breastfeed your baby, but it is still a skill that needs to be learned. Sometimes extra help and support is needed. I aim to offer practical breastfeeding advice and support, which is suited to your own individual needs. I offer one to one private  antenatal and postnatal consultations 

Postnatal Breastfeeding Consultations


Breastfeeding consultations take place at my clinic in Wicklow Town or online. I offer  limited home visits.  

During a postnatal consultation a full medical, birth and breastfeeding history will be taken. I will observe a feed, checking position and latch. A full sucking assessment will also be carried out.  I put together and individual plan of care  for you and your baby this will be emailed to you.  Follow up is given via phone/text/email.

Price for 90 min clinic postnatal consultation €150
Price for 90 min zoom postnatal zoom consultation €120
Price for 60 min follow up consultation €100

I had Ciara out twice for breastfeeding support when my little boy was 3 weeks & again for a follow (which I decided I needed) at 7 weeks. Ciara came recommended, and I could see why almost instantly - she had a kind compassionate caring approach - she started with asking how I was, what my goals were & what would work for us as a family - what a lovely way to start the session. She mentioned my mental health which was important - in retrospect my mental health for me would have been worse if I’d given up - but it was so important to say! Anyhow I was so so close to giving up breastfeeding so this was the nicest approach & a great one for a tired, emotional , hormonal new mother! I’m the first person in my family to breastfeed so professional advice for me was critical - my family’s solution was formula but I knew I wanted to throw everything at feeding as long as I could. I didn’t need to hear how beneficial breastfeeding was I needed practical steps to make it work!

Ciara is a fantastic lactation consultant, and I really cannot recommend her highly enough. I contacted her during a period of stress and she was able to see me quickly, and provide me with all the support I needed. Her professionalism and knowledge is evident and she communicates it in a reassuring and positive way. You can see that Ciara genuinely cares.

Private consultation with Ciara was the highlight of last 2 weeks challenges with breastfeeding. During the session she was able to establish everything what I was struggling with over last weeks. Super positive and reassuring approach, with lots of follow ups. Ciara really cares and children smell it🤗🤗 Thank you again!
