Lactation consultant based in Kent.

Mother, Midwife and IBCLC qualified lactation consultant.

Whether you're preparing to breastfeed, navigating early challenges, or seeking support further down the line — you've come to the right place. I'm Abigail Ruffy, a Midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) based in Thanet, Kent.

As an IBCLC — the highest qualification in lactation support worldwide — I offer expert, evidence-based help tailored to your family's individual journey. I provide home visits across Kent and online consultations for families further afield.

Every feeding journey is different. My role is to listen, observe, and work alongside you — not to tell you what to do, but to give you the confidence and knowledge to make informed choices for you and your baby.
