BREASTFEEDING/ CHESTFEEDING SUPPORT

At Juno Specialists, we’re passionate about redefining the level of support and medical care women receive on their breastfeeding/ chestfeeding journey.

We scaffold layers of support around you and your breastfeeding/chestfeeding experience:

  • Specially trained GPs and Lactation Consultants are equipped to provide overall standard care and education for all things breastfeeding. This is a good place to start when you feel like you need support.

  • Our founder Dr Nicole Gale is a Breastfeeding Medicine Doctor.

    Breastfeeding Medicine is an emerging field that addresses complex breastfeeding issues in an evidence-based way. Breastfeeding Medicine is a step up in complexity from lactation consultant supported issues.

    Dr Nicole Gale receives referrals from healthcare professionals for concurrent medical management as well as difficult presentations.

  • Breastfeeding Day Stay provides comprehensive extended care.

    This is a space for compassionate, informed support and the development of new skills.

    A Lactation Consultant or Breastfeeding Medicine consultation is required prior to attendance. This allows an appropriate plan to be formed with your unique needs in mind.

  • Breastfeeding as a process does not occur in isolation. For a smooth breastfeeding experience all body systems need to be working well together.

    These wrap around supports may include:

    Acupuncture / Chinese Medicine

    Physiotherapy

    Mental Health Support

    Paediatrics

    Doula Support

We support pain, latching issues, low supply, oversupply, nipple problems, trauma, vasospasm, breast infections including mastitis and thrush, inflammatory breast issues, mix feeding, slow infant weight gain, unsettled babies, tongue tie assessment and release, induced lactation in same-sex couples and surrogacy, antenatal planning, feeding premature and multiple babies, pumping fitting and sizing, return to work, use of supplemental nursing systems and other feeding needs.
