Infant Feeding
Specialist, breastfeeding support and lactation consultancy in London — and expert help for every other feeding journey too. Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle feeding, combination feeding or somewhere in between — I support every feeding journey without judgement, from the first days through to weaning and beyond.
INFANT FEEDING
Tongue Tie And Oral Function
Tongue tie assessment and specialist support in London — from pre-frenectomy preparation through to post-release rehabilitation, I support the whole tongue tie journey — helping your baby regain function, comfort and confidence in feeding.
Feeding difficulties are often rooted in how a baby uses their mouth. I assess and support infant oral function and airway development to help babies feed and developoptimally.
Infant Health
Gut health, intolerances, allergies and nervous system support — including specialist support for infant reflux.
Looking at the whole picture to understand why your baby is struggling and what can help.
Whoever you are, whatever your feeding journey — you’re in the right place.
Breastfeeding · Bottle feeding · Combination feeding · Exclusive pumping · Tongue tie · Reflux · Introducing solids · Toddler feeding...
Perhaps you’re struggling and don’t know why. Perhaps you’ve been told your baby has a tongue tie and don’t know where to turn. Perhaps everything seems fine but you just want reassurance that you’re doing it right.
Whatever brought you here — you belong here. No judgement. Ever.
Bespoke Sessions
One-to-one personalised sessions covering antenatal feeding preparation, returning to work whilst breastfeeding, and introducing solids. Antenatal + postnatal packages available — the only way to guarantee a postpartum home visit. Spaces are limited.

Since founding The Milk Practice in 2017, I have supported over 1,200 families across London — and no two journeys have been the same.
As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Board of Trustee member and Treasurer of the Lactation Consultants of Great Britain, and a TOTS-trained tongue tie practitioner, I am committed to practising at the highest level. I regularly attend international training and conferences — most recently the International Tongue-Tie Congress in Switzerland — to ensure my clients benefit from the very latest scientific evidence and techniques.
I work collaboratively with a trusted network of GPs, paediatricians, midwives, airway dentists, osteopaths, tongue tie practitioners, sleep consultants and doulas to ensure your baby receives truly joined-up care.
“I instantly found Heidi to be kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable... I always felt supported to do what was best for my baby and for me.”— Client, London
A Note from Heidi
Infant feeding can be one of the most joyful and one of the most challenging parts of early parenthood — sometimes both at the same time.
As a mother of four, I’ve lived it myself. Latch difficulties, low supply, oversupply, mastitis, tongue tie — between my four children I experienced more than my fair share of feeding challenges. Those experiences didn’t just shape me as a mother, they shaped me as a practitioner.
What I know after ten years and over 1,200 families is this — there is no one-size-fits-all approach to infant feeding. What matters is that you feel heard, supported and equipped to make the decisions that are right for you and your baby. Not the textbook version. Yours.
Whether you’ve been referred to me, found me through a friend, or simply Googled at midnight looking for answers — you’re in the right place. I’m here to help you find your way forward, whatever that looks like.
