Breastfeeding Support and Tongue Tie Service in Newport, Telford: Thrive with Shami!

My name is Shami and I am a tongue tie specialist and feeding expert (IBCLC), serving the Crewe, Stoke, Stafford and Telford areas. I am a proud mum of three and have over 11 years of Health Visiting experience as well as specialist qualifications that mean I am able to provide exceptional care to you and your family relating to infant feeding.

Understanding Breastfeeding Support

Breastfeeding can present unique challenges which for many can come in the shape of latching difficulties, painful breastfeeding, tongue-tie, concerns about milk supply, or simply feeling overwhelmed with no clear plan for moving forward. It's important to know that you’re not alone and accessing expert support can make all the difference.

Studies show that mothers who receive professional breastfeeding support are three times more likely to successfully initiate breastfeeding than those who do not. Accessing this support is easier now than it has ever been. Whilst face to face, one to one support is considered gold standard (and often recommended for complex and early challenges), telephone support, virtual consults and group support is also easily accessible which can make all the difference in them early days after birth....and I provide them all!

One-on-One Consultations

My most popular support packages are those that offer personalised, one-on-one consultations where mothers can voice their concerns and receive tailored advice. These sessions are especially important for new parents who may need reassurance or specific guidance and are perfect where hands on support is needed.

Group Workshops

These offer an opportunity to connect with others and engage in shared learning. Group workshops are a perfect space for those who prefer a relaxed, classroom approach to learning and ideal for antenatal sessions. many parents report leaving group workshops feeling empowered and supported by their peers.

Tailored Feeding Plans

Every feeding journey is unique and so a tailored, feeding plan that meets the needs of the baby and mother is essential for feeding success. There is nothing more disheartening than being given a standard "one size fits all" plan in the hope that it will work.

Tongue Tie Service

If your baby has a tongue tie and you are struggling with feeding, or you suspect your baby has a tie but are not sure or have had mixed opinions,.... or even if are on a waiting list for an NHS appointment but the wait is too long... get in touch with me! I am able to assess and treat tongue tie often within days of your enquiry and have exceptional feedback from parents who have used this service.
