Welcome to Breastfeeding with Abigail

Hello and welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Abigail, and I’m a midwife, mum of three, antenatal teacher and hypnobirthing instructor. After years of supporting families through pregnancy, birth and the early days of parenthood, I’ve created Breastfeeding with Abigail to offer compassionate, practical support to families who want to feel confident and cared for on their journey.

I know that pregnancy and early parenthood can feel overwhelming at times. There’s so much advice out there, and it can be hard to know who to trust. My role is to walk alongside you — whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating those first hours of breastfeeding, or reflecting on your birth experience.

What I Offer

Breastfeeding consultations — personalised, evidence-based support for feeding challenges and confidence building.

Why I Do This Work

As a midwife and a mum, I’ve seen first-hand how much difference the right support can make. Birth and breastfeeding aren’t about “getting it right” — they’re about being supported, informed, and heard. I believe every family deserves care that leaves them feeling confident and respected.

What You Can Expect Here

This blog will be a space where I share:

Practical tips for breastfeeding and early parenthood

Honest conversations about birth and recovery

Guidance on preparing for labour with calm and confidence

Resources to help you feel supported every step of the way

Thank you for joining me at the beginning of this journey. I can’t wait to share more with you and to support you wherever you are on your path.
