Nourish: Nicola O'Byrne Lactation Consultant

Nicola is a mum of 5, and an IBCLC registered Lactation Consultant with a background in pediatric nursing. Nicola supports mums who want desperately to breastfeed, and those who are finished their breastfeeding journey and ready to wean. She is non-judgemental, realistic and focused on results. She began her training with Cuidiu, and became an IBCLC lactation consultant in 2005. Nicola not only helps parents but also trains midwives, doctors, public health nurse, doulas and other lactation consultants and speaks internationally at conferences.

Let’s dive into this pocket of joy as I share some of my mothering journey, we discuss weaning, low milk supply, mental health and much more.
