Private Lactation Consultant recommendations in Seaford area

[inlove]

Hi everyone,

My very good friend has just had her first baby and is looking for a private lactation consultant in the Seaford area of Melbourne. If anyone has any recommendations that would be great ask live in the Western suburbs and don't know anyone over that side. She had her baby in the city and she can go back there for support but she can't drive and would prefer someone in her area.

Thanks

The person to see is Leonie Maybury. She was my breastfeeding rock and she still calls us each month to see how we are going and DD is 10.5 months old.
Leonie is from Eastern Lactation Services.
I think I can put her number here.. 0417 315 957
Leonie is very experienced and also teaches the midwives at Monash Hospital.

did she Birth at frankston?
The LC's there are wonderful. if i can i'll see if i can find the name of the LC i saw with DJ; she was amazeing and though the hopsital didnt cost anything (i was there every 2nd week for 4.5 months) and one i remember her name was Dianne.

LCANZ has a website you can search on if you haven't had any luck.

I didn't even birth at Frankston and I was still free to use their breastfeeding clinic.
Definitely a good place to go if finances are a concern.
There is also a Wednesday drop in at the Karingal Place Centre, which is a qualified LC, but you can't make an appt, just drop in and wait.
