"My experience with Meg the most positive breast feeding consultant"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Breastfeeding Centre of WA

(as a service user),

I had the pleasure to been put in contact with the Breast feeding centre after giving birth at King Eddies. I initially wasn’t able to breast feed after giving birth due to medication I was on.

It was my goal to breast feed and from the moment I was put in contact with the breast feeding centre I was fully supported. I was visiting in the hospital to discuss any potential concerns I had / any questions. Meg had sent her colleague as she couldn’t attend. I appreciated being seen so promptly.

Once the medicine had cleared my system I had appointment set to see Meg in person to assist me with my breast feeding journey. Eloise was a student alongside Meg during my first appointment and Zoe the second.

I give huge credit to the way Meg gives advice and such warmth approach to a subject that can be so hard to explain especially as a first time mum. I felt so secure speaking with Meg and the students with her. All my questions were answered and I felt so positively about the interactions. I “graduated “ the clinic on my second visit. I felt so supported during my time at the clinic. Meg is worth her weight in gold, her vivacious personality and knowledge is unmatched!

Dear Supportedlady

It sounds like you had a truly wonderful experience with the Breastfeeding Centre at King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH). It’s heartwarming to hear how supportive and attentive Meg and students Eloise and Zoe were during your breastfeeding journey. Their dedication and warmth clearly made a significant impact on you, especially as a first-time mum. It’s great to hear that you felt secure and positive about the interactions, and that you were able to achieve your goal of breastfeeding.

Your story is a beautiful testament to the importance of compassionate and knowledgeable support during such a crucial time. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Kind regards,

Delaney
