"Cherie has been the closest thing to an angel in human form for us! Navigating first time mummahood with challenges you can’t anticipate is hard, and having Cherie with bub and I every step of the way has been a godsend. I saw Cherie initially at 36 weeks pregnant for a lactation consult, where I learned nursing holds and how to correctly hand express. I was so thankful I did as there was a lot to process after birth and it was already something I had practiced with Cherie.
In his first week, bub became sick and got too attached to bottles after going back to hospital, so Cherie supported me for months to try and get bubby back on the breast- all the while providing useful resources and information about how breasts and milk production work, the importance of diet as well as additional community support.
After 2.5 months of trying, I made the personal decision to stop attempting to get to get him back on the breast- however thanks to all the knowledge I now had from Cherie about breastmilk benefits for babies I committed to exclusively expressing for my babe. Cherie supported and respected my choice and provided me with a plan to follow to support this route. Cherie was an invaluable support at my highest and my lowest points in navigating this new and wonderful journey.
I now feel so much more confident 4 months later with my happy, healthy baby. I will forever hold Cherie dear to my heart!"

"As a first time mum I thought as soon as baby was born she would take to the breast and feed. No one really talks about the struggles and hurdles us mums can be faced with. For something so natural it can be so hard. I had to use nipple shields in the first few months due to latch issues before giving up and going to exclusively expressing and bottle feeding.
I wanted to breast feed her so badly so I made an appointment to see Cherie who was highly recommended to me. Cherie was warm, welcoming, kind, understanding, patient and so knowledgeable. Together we made a plan/ goals with realistic time frames and she was always only a phone call away. I can proudly say I am now full time breast feeding my almost 4 month old and I’m over the moon about it.
Thank you Cherie, your support means the world to me and I’ll forever be thankful you made my dream of breastfeeding achievable for Zahli Mae & I"
