Queensland Lactation & Feeding Specialists
About Queensland Lactation & Feeding Specialists
We love to help babies and children feed & thrive, however they are fed.
At Queensland Lactation & Feeding Specialists, we provide warm, personalised support for families navigating infant feeding from pregnancy through early childhood. Our experienced team includes International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs), paediatric dietitians, and paediatric speech pathologists working together to help you feel confident and supported, no matter your feeding journey. We offer comprehensive antenatal and postnatal lactation support, helping families prepare for breastfeeding before baby arrives and providing skilled care for breastfeeding challenges after birth.
From latching difficulties, nipple pain, and supply concerns to feeding with complex medical needs, our IBCLCs take the time to listen and develop realistic, achievable plans. We also offer thorough tongue tie assessments and guidance on management options where needed. Feeding looks different for every family, and we support all types of feeding, whether breast, bottle, combination feeding, or tube feeding.
Our paediatric dietitians specialise in infant feeding, growth concerns, and allergy management. We provide practical guidance for families navigating allergies, including cow’s milk protein allergy, food intolerances, introducing solids, and faltering growth, with feeding plans tailored to your baby’s medical and developmental needs.
Our speech pathologists support infant feeding development, including assessment and management of oral motor skills, swallowing safety, and transitioning to solids. Whether your baby is struggling with different textures, is fussy with feeding, or has additional medical needs affecting feeding skills, we can help.
What makes us different is our family-centred, team-based approach. We work alongside parents and caregivers, respecting your values and preferences while offering clear, evidence-based advice.
We offer in-clinic services, with free and easy parking, at our warm and welcoming Paddington clinic. Home visits and virtual / telehealth appointments are also available. Whether you’re an expectant parent seeking feeding preparation, a new mother needing breastfeeding or bottle feeding support, or a family managing feeding challenges or allergies in an older baby or toddler, Queensland Lactation & Feeding Specialists are here to guide and support you at every stage.

During pregnancy, it is recommended that women undergo screening for Gestational Diabetes. Historically, this test has been dreaded by mum, but we’ve now made it something to look forward to.
Mums arrive fasted and have their blood tests taken by one of our experienced staff members. They are then treated to an hour of rest in our divine relaxation room and an hour day spa treatment. This service is seeing an increased uptake in screening and also promoting antenatal and postnatal wellbeing by linking women in with exceptional quality pregnancy and post-natal services. As such, we are focusing on prevention rather than cure.”

Why Hiring Postpartum In-Home Support Can Transform Your Recovery
If I had my way, support would be non-negotiable and, in an ideal world, would have government funding, so everyone can access the help we all deserve. We can shape our families' and therefore babies' complete outcomes (and lives!) by providing education, but above all, support in those early days. It is essential for a mother who has given birth to rest and recover.

How to Talk About Sharing the Mental Load with Your Partner: A Complete Guide
In many households, the mental and emotional work of managing a family, often called the invisible load, falls disproportionately on mothers. It's not just about doing tasks; it's about carrying the mental checklist: remembering appointments, organising activities, planning meals, and anticipating everyone's needs. Over time, this invisible mental load can lead to resentment, overwhelm, and burnout.
