The Gentle Latch Reviews

Really helpful home visit. Taught the best techniques to try and get a deeper latch as well as giving advice surrounding teething

Abi helped me when my baby was just 9 days old and I was ready to quit breastfeeding. We only had a short session where she observed a feed and advised me of small tweaks which made all the difference and we’re now 9 weeks in and he is exclusively breastfed and feeds beautifully! She also discovered a tongue tie that the hospital, midwives and health visitors missed, which I’m now able to get fixed. Thank you Abi!

I had an excellent experience with the Gentle Latch! Abi immediately put me at ease, listened carefully to my concerns and kindly asked questions to gain a better understanding of the feeding issues that I was having. Abi then made bespoke recommendations, which I was quickly able to implement at home. The impact has been so positive for me and my family and we have seen a significant improvement in our feeding. Abi is very passionate and knowledgeable about breastfeeding and genuinely wants to help families.

Abi is wonderful! Having worked with her for almost six months, I’ve seen how much she truly cares about every mum’s unique experience. She is kind, thoughtful, and creates a totally judgment-free space. Whatever your feeding journey looks like, Abi is there to support you through it. We love you at Motherhood & Milk! 🤍

I would highly recommend Abi for anyone who is planning to breastfeed. She was incredibly supportive, kind, and reassuring during a time that felt quite overwhelming. Her advice was always practical, pragmatic and tailored to our specific situation. She quickly identified our baby had a tongue tie and when the issue wasn’t resolved she gave us the confidence we needed to go back to the hospital. I’m so grateful for her expertise and encouragement and can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Abi!

Abigail is extremely professional, caring and warm. We were really struggling with latch and supply issues and Abigail managed to come out to us the same day when I really needed some immediate help. She has kept in touch with us and has provided invaluable consistent help and now we seem to be turning a corner with breastfeeding. I also really enjoyed her session at Mother Zen in Ramsbottom on a Tuesday afternoon where I was able to get more help alongside meeting other new mums in the area. Highly recommend her wealth of experience, do not hesitate to reach out to her if you feel like you also need some help!

Calm, understanding, great, realistic and applicable advice with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and seek follow up advice.

Abi was really helpful in building my confidence with weaning away from nipple shields at a busy group session!

It's obvious that Abigail at Gentle Latch really cares. We felt listened to and respected, and I cannot tell you how much that has meant to us after a very tricky start to parenthood where we have been bombarded with lots of differing medical advice. We would highly recommend.

I honestly can’t recommend Gentle Latch enough. When I was just a few days postpartum I was really struggling with breastfeeding. It had become very painful and I was close to giving up. She came to my home and spent time with me showing me how to position and latch my baby properly, explaining everything so patiently and kindly. Being able to do it in my own home with my baby made such a difference and immediately helped ease the pain and gave me so much more confidence. What amazed me the most is how supportive she has been even after the visit. She has answered my messages whenever I’ve had questions or worries, even late at night, and has always been so reassuring and encouraging. She is such a lovely, caring person and truly passionate about helping mums. Thanks to her support I’ve been able to continue breastfeeding when I really thought I couldn’t. I’m so grateful for everything she’s done for me and my baby. 💕
