Virtual Lactation Consultant
Online breastfeeding and infant feeding support that feels just as personal, calm and effective as being in the clinic.
Online Support That Works
Whether you’re struggling with latch pain, bottle refusal, sleep, or simply feeling overwhelmed, online consultations give you fast, expert guidance from the comfort of your home — without waiting for clinic availability or navigating travel with a newborn.
With clear camera angles and gentle, guided positioning, I can assess latch, oral function, feeding behaviour and tension patterns just as accurately as I do in person. You’ll receive the same level of care, the same depth of expertise, and the same compassionate support The Baby Element Clinic is known for.
Online support is ideal for families who need help now, who live outside Cheshire, or who prefer a flexible, accessible way to get specialist infant feeding guidance.
What We Can Solve Online
Online consultations are highly effective for a wide range of feeding and baby comfort challenges, including:
Latch pain, shallow latch and nipple trauma

How an Online Consultation Works
Your online consultation is calm, structured and deeply supportive — designed to give you clarity and confidence straight away.
Here’s what happens:
1. Book instantly online at a time that suits your family.
2. Complete a short intake form so I can understand your concerns before we meet.
3. Join your video session via Zoom or your phone — no special equipment needed.
4. I assess latch, positioning, oral function and feeding behaviour using guided camera angles and gentle instruction.
5. You receive a personalised feeding plan, tailored to your baby’s needs and your feeding goals.
6. Optional follow‑up or WhatsApp support to help you implement changes and feel fully supported.
Online sessions are relaxed, thorough and incredibly effective, especially for babies who feed better in their own familiar environment.
Online Success Stories
Online support works beautifully — here’s what families say:
Online consultations are not a compromise — they’re a powerful, accessible way to get specialist support exactly when you need it.
We fixed our latch in one online session. I couldn’t believe how much Nikki could see through the camera. The feeding plan changed everything and got us out of a triple feeding plan.
Bottle refusal solved! The guided positioning, full assessment of our son and step‑by‑step plan were exactly what we needed to help with the nursery transition.
Online support was more helpful than the in‑person help we’d had before. I felt seen, understood and supported every step of the way. The plan was so easy to follow, and we had Nikki’s guidance on WhatsApp too.
I was sceptical about online help, but Nikki’s calm guidance and clear instructions made it feel like she was right here with us.
