I can’t say enough good words about Judith. When I was at my lowest - bleeding, sore nipples, unable to get dressed as my breasts were so sore, dreading the baby waking for the next feed - Judith came to the rescue. I had genuinely thought I would have to give up breastfeeding as I could not get past the pain during the first week. But Judith came to the house with her warm, friendly, wise and reassuring presence, and within an hour had me feeding again with almost no pain. The position she showed me plus other tips and guidance allowed me to feed my baby after a terrible night of constant pumping and bottle-feeding. After that, things got better and I was able to continue with my much-wanted breastfeeding journey, of course with a few more ups and downs.
Judith was also available on WhatsApp and by video and phone call between visits, which was incredibly comforting to know as the night approached and the feeding fears kicked in once more. Knowing I could always call on Judith absolutely kept me sane. I’m still so surprised that the biological nurturing position Judith showed me is not more widely taught. It really was transformative for me at a very difficult time. My family and I do feel very much indebted to lovely Judith for all her help. She is wise, supportive, kind and warm, all the things you need when you’re feeling vulnerable in those early days

We saw Judith after a 5 day stint in hospital post birth which left both me and Xaver completely exhausted and out of sync. I had totally underestimated how much I would struggle breastfeeding - and the time in hospital totally destroyed my confidence in my ability to sync in to what my new little baby needs. Judith arrived and cast an immediate calming presence - listening and helping me process those early days. After the first session we finally began to understand the feeding dance - and helping us hear those gorgeous gulping sounds. The second session she helped us find our perfect pose and gave me the tools, advice and kind words to help me build confidence on our feeding journey. Judith - we can’t thank you enough.

I've been meaning to write for ages to thank you properly for your help with breastfeeding Arthur, but seeing things about World Breastfeeding Week prompted me! I am so grateful for your support and kindness. Looking back I'm not really sure how things would have gone if I'd not spoken to you. The laid back feeding worked really well for us and it turned breastfeeding into something that we've both really enjoyed and it's been a calming, bonding, special time for us. I saw a statistic that only 1% of UK mothers exclusively breastfeed for the first 6 months, and I'm so proud and lucky that I can say I've managed that with Arthur and I've been able to provide that for him. It means so much to all of us that we've been able to do that, so thank you!
Arthur is 7 and a half months now and throwing lots of food on the floor, starting crawling and chattering like crazy! We're very much in love and cherish his smiley face every day

I just watched some videos from a year ago exactly when you helped us with breastfeeding Ethan. What a difference a year of parenting makes in knowing what to do! We just want to say thank you again beacause I truly couldn’t have done it without you. He just turned one this week and he’s still breastfed and that’s partly thanks to your guidance in those early postpartum days.

After a friend’s recommendation, we contacted Dreamfeeds at the start of my breast feeding journey - and I am so glad we did. Judith at Dreamfeeds not only provided new information and positions that made breast feeding feel so much easier and more natural for me, she provided the emotional support and understanding I needed. Judith takes the time to listen and tailors her support, based on years of knowledge, to your needs. I feel so much calmer and confident in my ability to breast feed and it’s definitely thanks to Judith and her approach.
