What i Do

Antenatal Preparation

Lactation Consultation

I offer personalised antenatal preparation that may be useful for first time mothers, those anxious about breastfeeding or for those that have previously experienced problems with breastfeeding.

Lactation Consultation

Get consistent, evidence-based advice and support in your home.

Once I understand your babies full feeding history, I can offer appropriate guidance, coaching and support, empowering you with the knowledge and confidence required to effectively feed your baby.

Tongue Tie Release

Lactation Consultation

Tongue Tie Release

Tongue ties often go undiagnosed, causing problems with feeding. I offer a full feeding and oral assessment and if necessary, I can perform a Tongue tie release during the consultation.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Charlotte Lowden...

I've been a Midwife for 17 years and I am also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Tongue tie Practitioner and mother of 2 girls.

I trained at Anglia Ruskin University, qualifying as a Midwife in 2007, working in a hospital setting and then predominantly in the community for the next 7 years. Community Midwifery has always been close to my heart. I love that I get to build relationships with the families I care for and support after birth, helping them to navigate their early days and weeks with a new baby.

Following the birth of my second daughter, I joined a team of Infant Feeding specialists, where my passion for supporting women with breastfeeding continued. I tried to learn everything I could about infant feeding, so that I might be able to help mothers and their babies as much as I possibly could.

In 2018, I trained as Tongue tie Practitioner, which allowed me to assess and release Tongue ties that are causing feeding issues. Often healthcare professionals are not trained to assess for infant tongue function, meaning many families do not receive the timely advice, support, or resolution that they might require. If feeding problems persist, despite support to achieve good attachment, this may indicate that a tongue tie assessment is necessary.

In 2021, I decided to study for the IBCLC exam, as this is the foremost lactation qualification available. I have enjoyed learning more about rare, complex and unusual breastfeeding complications and how best to offer support throughout the process of resolving them.
