Welcome to
Southern Lactation
Are you searching for help with breastfeeding your new baby, struggling with sleep and settling, introducing solids or weaning your little one?
We can help with issues such as antenatal education and support, positioning and attachment, expressing and storing breastmilk, as well as addressing challenges like sore nipples, mastitis, or supply concerns.
Our Story
At Southern Lactation our International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC's) aim to assist in guiding families through a wide range of issues including; education about normal newborn behaviour, positioning and attachment issues, sore nipples, mastitis, infant oral assessment, screening for tethered oral tissue (ankyloglossia), breast or bottle refusal, addressing concerns related to insufficient glandular tissue, and supporting parents through the trials of coping with sleep, crying, and unsettled babies.
Recognizing the complex interplay between maternal well-being and breastfeeding success, we offer compassionate assistance to those grappling with perinatal mental health and breastfeeding challenges.

"Erika is very knowledgeable and provides an excellent service, especially for first time expectant mothers such as myself who have questions about feeding their new baby. Finding out the best way to ensure both mother and baby are coping with the transition into newborn motherhood is of top priority to Erika, she checks in regularly and I will definitely be consulting her postpartum if I have any queries or concerns"
