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.

Melbourne Postpartum Services
Hello, we are Melissa and Rachael, the sisters behind Melbourne Postpartum Services (MPS)—a small, dedicated team of postpartum professionals and doulas. With backgrounds in neuroprotective developmental care (NDC), nursing, social work, psychology, and postpartum education, we’ve combined our personal and professional expertise to create a nurturing haven for mothers and families across Melbourne’s eastern, south-eastern, outer eastern, and north-eastern suburbs.
At MPS, we believe the postpartum period should be a time of deep connection, rest, and joy—not one of exhaustion and overwhelm. That’s why we provide premium, evidence-based in-home support tailored to your unique needs. From breastfeeding guidance and settling strategies to newborn education and emotional recovery, our care meets you exactly where you are.
Our approach blends hands-on help with compassionate listening. Perhaps you’d like a nourishing meal prepared, laundry folded, or the chance to rest while we care for your baby. Maybe you need space to process your birth story, talk through your emotions, or receive expert feeding support. Whatever matters most to you in that moment, we’re there to lighten your load and help you feel truly supported.
You stay in control of your care with our “Personalisation Menu,” which offers options such as practical household help, baby care, confidence-building conversations, and newborn education. Each visit is designed to reduce stress, nourish your body, and boost your confidence—helping you not just to survive, but to genuinely enjoy this precious season.
When you invite us into your home, you’re not just hiring a service; you’re welcoming trusted allies who deeply understand the postpartum journey. Our mission is to elevate your experience so that, rather than simply getting through it, you can dare to love and truly enjoy your postpartum story.
Book your free initial consultation today—we’d love to walk alongside you and co-create a postpartum filled with nourishment, support, and confidence.

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.

What is a Doula?
Today, a doula is typically someone who acts as a hub of support, referrals and resources for a person during a major life transition, usually related to birth. Doulas have a holistic approach that considers both mental and physical well-being. Services vary significantly but can include emotional reassurance, information based on scientific evidence, and comfort techniques like massage and nourishing food. The role is not medical, and doulas cannot treat, diagnose or cure any disease.
