Shanice Pownall

I met Shanice at an event she hosted for parents to learn about the different ways to feed an infant. She was inclusive, supportive, non-judgemental and calm. I would certainly use her services for feeding advice.

As a new mum I came out of hospital with the knowledge of breastfeeding, as I attended classes, but in reality there was no manual, and all our experiences are not like the textbook. I reached out to Shanice (as a recommendation from a friend), when I started getting mastitis, her advice and guidance was spot on, I was about to give up on breastfeeding all together as there was limited support after hospital, and so many opinions that didn't suit the way I wanted my journey to go. I will always be grateful for the support I received and always recommend to other expecting mothers/new mums. Thank you Shanice ❤️

I’m so grateful for the breastfeeding advice I received from Shanice. I had no issues breastfeeding my first child, so I felt well prepared to breast feed the second time around too. However, my second child had a tongue tie that wasn’t detected straight away and breastfeeding was incredibly painful and I was constantly worried he wasn’t getting enough milk and I wasn’t sure why. Shanice’s guidance was so informative and reassuring and made a huge difference to both my baby’s feeding and my confidence and overall wellbeing. She was kind, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout and checked in with me often. I would recommend Shanice to any new parent needing breastfeeding support!

I had an excellent experience with the infant breastfeeding specialist Shanice. The recommendation to use an electric breast pump was incredibly helpful and has made expressing milk much easier, quicker, and more comfortable. The advice was clear, evidence-based, and tailored to my needs, which gave me confidence throughout my breastfeeding journey. I truly appreciated the kindness, patience, and expert support I received, and I would highly recommend this service to any parent looking for breastfeeding guidance. Thank you so much Shanice for your AMAZING support!!

I'd recommend Shanice to any new mum, especially first-timers. I was very determined to breastfeed my newborn but the first couple of days were hard. With just a few tips from the nurses at the hospital, I didn't really know what I was doing. Unbeknownst to me, my baby had a shallow latch, so even though she was transferring milk okay, by day three my nipples were cracked and sore and breastfeeding became unbearable. I reached out to Shanice and she responded incredibly quickly which made such a difference during those overwhelming early days. She guided me through different positioning techniques (especially as someone with larger breasts) like adjusting my cross-cradle hold and helped me get my baby to achieve a deeper latch, through messaging and video consultations. She informed me about tongue tie and helped me work through cluster feeding and managing my oversupply, what to do with the excess milk. She thoroughly answered every question as my body adjusted from nipple soreness to the engorgement and strong letdown sensations when my milk came in and gave me so much encouragement to keep going. Beyond the technical side, she helped calm my postpartum anxiety around feeding and made me feel so much less overwhelmed. By week two, my latch had improved so much that I felt fully confident breastfeeding and Shanice continued to check in whenever issues came up like a mastitis scare. With her support, I went on to exclusively breastfeed for 20 months!

Shanice was a wonderful support while I was weaning off breastfeeding. It felt like completely new territory for me and I didn’t know what to expect emotionally or physically. She asked all the right questions, listened to me with much care and supported me without making me feel rushed. She also cheered on my progress which meant a lot during such a sensitive phase. She also arranged a call with me for a full feeding assessment and talked me through how to slowly reduce pumping in a way that felt comfortable and helped prevent any breast complications. I’m so grateful for her knowledge and calm guidance🙏
