Lactation Matters

Lactation Matters provides in-home and telehealth lactation and breastfeeding support for families in Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula, Casey, Kingston and Bayside. The service helps parents prepare for feeding and navigate questions or challenges as they work toward their breastfeeding goals. Pregnancy lactation consultations offer education about breastfeeding a newborn, whether it is a parent’s first baby or they have experienced difficulties before, helping them feel more informed and empowered.

After birth, support is available for breastfeeding, expressing breastmilk and related feeding concerns in the comfort of home or through telehealth. Services also include flange fitting, with inserts or hard flanges, to help make expressing more comfortable and efficient. For families experiencing difficulty introducing a bottle, Lactation Matters offers guidance with bottle refusal or aversion, whether the bottle contains breastmilk or formula.

The website also features breastfeeding products and stocks Spectra breast pumps. Families can book a consultation and access information about services, fees and what to expect.
