LACTATION CONSULTATIONs
“Nurturing both mother and baby, one feed at a time.”
Who we are
I am Janesse Fourie, a qualified Lactation Consultation based in Strand, Cape Town. I had my own very difficult feeding journey which encouraged me to help as many mom's as I can to improve their breastfeeding experience. Contradictory to what you may have expected, breastfeeding does not come natural to every mom. I am here to help you reach your own personal breastfeeding goals. Feeding a newborn has many challenges but just as many rewards. Let me help you enjoy this very special (and short) phase of your life.
I offer hospital (Vergelegen Mediclinic) and home visits where possible. Our practice in Strand is set up to comfortably offer lactation consultations.
