As many of my readers would know, I am an IBCLC Lactation Consultant.

Every now and then (as a few of you know) I get emails from my wonderful, breastfeeding readers, asking tentatively for some advice, thinking they might be over-stepping a boundary, and intruding on my time.

Truth be known. There is no imaginary boundary, and I am always delighted to be able to offer advice to my friends, so there really is no intrusion on my time. Besides I can also answer emails in my paid working time – it’s part of my job!

I’m even happy to telephone you, if you live in Australia. I have free national calls and an excellent cap on my mobile, so it’s not a problem. In fact, sometimes a call is better because I can get all the information I need to provide better advice, rather than have numerous back and forward emails.

Obviously, there are times when advice won’t be enough and I would advise you to contact and see a local lactation consultant to assist you.
