Breastfeeding Support In West Sussex & Online Worldwide

Compassionate Breastfeeding Support for Every Mother’s Journey

 Breastfeeding can feel deeply instinctive and unexpectedly overwhelming at the same time.

Whether you’re pregnant and preparing to feed your baby or navigating challenges after birth and beyond, you deserve calm, non-judgemental support that meets you where you are.

Breastfeeding Support in West Sussex

My approach blends practical breastfeeding guidance with mindfulness-based support, recognising that feeding a baby isn’t just physical it’s emotional too. From latch difficulties and feeding pain to anxiety, self-doubt or previous feeding experiences, there is space here for the full picture.

Whether breastfeeding feels straightforward, complex, joyful, heavy (or all of these at the same time). You don’t have to figure it out alone. Support isn’t a sign something is wrong or a failure, it is a necessity to enable you and your baby to learn the skills required for a successful, pain-free feeding journey.

So, What Is Mindful Breastfeeding?

Being Present

Mindful breastfeeding invites you to slow down and truly notice what’s happening in the moment. Your baby’s cues, your own body, the rhythm between you. That presence is where connection lives.

Managing Stress and Anxiety

How you feel matters just as much as what you do. Stress and anxiety can genuinely affect your milk and your experience of feeding, which is why supporting your nervous system is at the heart of what I do, not an afterthought.

Relaxation and Bonding

Through guided relaxation, breathing techniques and visualisation, we create the conditions for calm. And from calm comes connection, with your baby and with yourself.

Trusting Yourself

You know your baby better than anyone. Mindful breastfeeding gently brings you back to that knowing, helping you make decisions from a place of confidence rather than doubt or fear.

The Whole Picture

Feeding your baby isn’t just a physical act. It’s emotional, mental, and for many mothers, deeply spiritual. Mindful breastfeeding holds all of that, not just the latch.

“Adele is a very special kind of person. A giver in the true sense. She lightens up the room and gives her depth of knowledge and love freely, it is a wonderful thing. Adele really knows how to help me tap into my spiritual being – thank you!”

“Adele worked during our session to easily address all the issues and talk through the options I had. She quickly helped baby get a much better latch by making some small tweaks, enabling much less painful feeding almost immediately.”

“From the very beginning and throughout our session Adele made me feel very at ease and comfortable, along with offering expert support and guidance. I felt in safe hands. It was such a positive experience and has helped my breastfeeding journey so much.”

“I would highly recommend Adele to anyone looking for support during their breastfeeding journey. Her calm approach put me and my baby at ease, I felt listened to, and with her expert guidance has enabled me to continue breast feeding my son – pain free! I feel so lucky to have had Adele’s help, and would recommend to any mama.”

“Since meeting with Adele I feel better equipped to deal with the emotional challenges of breastfeeding and through this I think I am more likely to meet my goal of breastfeeding until I choose to stop, rather than feeling like I have to stop like last time. I also feel confident that Adele is the right person to support me with my feeding journey when baby arrives, and it is making a huge difference to my anxiety knowing I have this wonderfully skilled woman in my corner!”

“I cannot thank Adele enough for our work together, it has really changed my perspective on breastfeeding again. I wanted to try again but really felt quite frightened as I found it so challenging before, but with Adele’s support I know I am strong enough and have the tools I need to give me the best chances of success.”

“I had a bit of a tricky start to my breastfeeding journey due to my baby being poorly in her first few days of life. Adele was very helpful in guiding me through my concerns and made me feel heard and supported. Adele is full of knowledge and had some new ideas for me to try.”

“Adele has a beautiful, non-judgemental way of offering support around breastfeeding. What I admire most is her ability to meet each woman where she is, with compassion, practical knowledge and intuition. She understands that breastfeeding isn’t just about feeding; it’s about trust, bonding, nurture and emotional support. “

“Feeling empowered after attending my first circle with Adele, something totally out of my comfort zone. Truly inspiring and totally refreshing to be comforted with views that you thought may not be acceptable or ‘normal’ with other women going through breastfeeding journeys.”

FAQs

Is breastfeeding support only for when something goes wrong?

No. Many mothers seek breastfeeding support to feel prepared, reassured and emotionally supported whilst they are pregnant not just to seek support if problems arise once the baby (or babies) are born. Antenatal preparation and mindful guidance can actually prevent difficulties before they arise.

FAQs

When should I seek breastfeeding support?

You can seek breastfeeding support at any stage. During pregnancy, in the early days after birth, or months into feeding. Support can help with latch issues, pain, low milk supply, confidence, or emotional overwhelm. Accessing breastfeeding support during pregnancy is highly recommended for an informed, empowered and confident start to your breastfeeding journey.

FAQs

I haven’t practiced mindfulness before. What happens in a mindful breastfeeding session?

Mindful breastfeeding support is different from other breastfeeding support because it is a 360 holistic approach to feeding. Sessions include guided meditation or guided relaxations, use of essential oils, affirmation writing, breathing techniques and exploring the mind/body connection of breastfeeding. It is about supporting you to relax and feel grounded whatever stage of your feeding journey.

FAQs

Can breastfeeding support help with anxiety or emotional overwhelm?

Yes. Feeding challenges often affect emotional wellbeing. Mindful breastfeeding support acknowledges the emotional load of feeding and offers space to feel heard, supported and less alone alongside the practical elements of support. It focuses on the mind/body connection and how this balance is key to a successful and enjoyable feeding journey. Mindful breastfeeding utilises guided meditation, relaxation, breathing techniques and affirmations all of which support with anxiety and/or overwhelm.

FAQs

Can my partner be included in sessions?

Absolutely! In fact I highly encourage this especially in antenatal sessions. Breastfeeding education and support is essential for both parents as feeding is a team effort. The more informed both partners are, the more empowered they feel and this supports a successful feeding journey.

FAQs

What happens in a breastfeeding reflection session?

A breastfeeding reflection session offers gentle space to talk through your feeding journey or journeys. Mothers come to me experiencing feelings such as disappointment, that they were failed by medical services, trauma around complex birth and/or feeding issues such as tongue tie and grief that feeding journeys ended sooner than they had hoped or abruptly due to unforeseen circumstances. These sessions focus on emotional processing, validation and the opportunity for closure. These sessions can be integral in processing a previous feeding journey whilst pregnant with another baby in hopes of different outcomes this time around.
