About Katie & Nursing Mama

Katie started Nursing Mama with the aim to provide antenatal breastfeeding education to parents in her local area. As a public health nurse and certified lactation consultant, she was seeing many parents experience the same issues when they returned home from hospital. Katie quickly realised if they had better education regarding breastfeeding, understanding how to get started, how to establish a milk supply and have a realistic expectation of breastfeeding, this would have led to a more positive experience. The word of Nursing Mama classes spread, and Katie quickly moved online to reach more parents not only in Ireland but overseas now too.

The Newborn Care class was then created to support, educate & empower parents in Newborn Care. The Weaning from Breastfeeding Class quickly followed due to the increasing number of clients seeking help to stop Breastfeeding and remains one of the most popular classes to date. Nursing Mama offers in person consults within Kildare and Dublin as well as online Worldwide.

Katie was a pleasure to deal with. She totally transformed my experience of BF this time and was so kind and giving of her time in those hard early days. Highly recommend!!

I booked Katie for a home consultation 5 days after the birth of my 3rd baby. My milk had come in, I was very engorged and my baby was feeding constantly so I was getting very little rest.
Katie was able to tell me that I had a slow flow and how to introduce breast compressions as a result. This was a complete game changer as it made the full feed much more efficient time wise and resulted in my baby regaining back to his birth weight within the 2 weeks. I also started getting better sleep so a big win for both of us!

We did Katie’s bottle weaning class and along with a few questions directly to her our baby was flying on the bottle in no time. After a couple of weeks using the techinques covered in the class, he will now take a bottle anytime, anywhere and from anyone! Highly recommend to anyone struggling

Couldn't recommend Katie enough. I am a second time mother and my little girl won't take the bottle. Researched and tried so many things but had no luck. I coyldnt leave my baby because if this for over 6 months abd thought she would never take the bottle. Katie gave me tips and in no time, she was taking the bottle. Katie followed up with me and offered continously support. I am so gratitude fir Katie's kindness and support. I can continue breastfeeding now and have a balance now.

I found Katie on instagram and saw she helped with breast and bottle feeding / refusal. My 12 week old was struggling with the bottle and on/off breast refusing from 4 weeks. I had gone to many other healthcare professionals before Katie who all told me my baby was just fussy or that she could sense how anxious I was about the feeds. Even though we dealt with Katie via zoom/emails/texts with videos and pictures, I knew from the first consultation that she was great because of all the information she needed. After sending videos and pictures Katie could tell my baby was suffering from oral dysfunction and led me to get the help we needed for my daughter. Katie helped me on how to increase and maintain my milk supply while my baby was refusing the breast. I couldn’t be more appreciative to just be listened to and leading me the way to getting my baby the care she needs after a long 12 weeks of feeding issues. Couldn’t recommend Katie enough! Thank you 🙏🏼

Katie was a huge help with getting our baby onto the bottle. I had gone through months of bottle refusal and didn’t know what else to try. She gave us practical steps to follow and was extremely helpful throughout each stage. I found her very approachable and didn’t overwhelm us with too much information. I would highly recommend her!

I reached out to Katie twice and it’s been the best decision I’ve made for myself and my baby girl. You would think the answer to your concerns is on Google but obviously how you tackle breastfeeding not a one size fits all solution. I’m still trying to learn and understand my baby and her feeding behaviour but this is because there is still so much to learn and try. Katie is a great teacher and the information and advice I got from her are clear, direct and for a numbers person like myself this is the approach I’ve been looking for from a LC. Highly recommend Katie especially if you’re a first time parent

I am so grateful I got the chance to work with Katie when I encountered some challenges towards the end of my 11 month breastfeeding journey. I found Katie to be so knowledgeable, well informed, professional and so kind. She helped changed the course of some problematic issues I had for the better and prevented the issues from recurring. Katie also worked with me to help successfully wean my son from breastfeeding in a very positive way. I felt she was always on standby to answer any additional questions outside of our consultation and was very supportive. I was lucky to have found her!

Katie (Nursing mama) is amazing. Would highly recommend her classes. I’ve attended a few now. No question is a stupid question with Katie. Katie is very helpful and understanding. She has all the knowledge base and is very encouraging with her teaching methods. Thanks again. Maura from Mayo.

I’m so glad to have found Katie for the breastfeeding consultation when my daughter was born, Katie is full of knowledge and guided me on the positioning and techniques that helped me in my breastfeeding journey. She understood my feeding goals and promptly provided me with a plan, also followed up to make sure I was on track. Highly recommend her consultation especially for first time mothers new to breastfeeding

The online class with Katie was such a great use of my time. Her information is very precise and accessible, understanding of each individual’s unique situation. She is very knowledgeable and took adequate time to answer all questions. She is very practical from a professional and personal perspective. Highly recommend. I came away feeling empowered and confident on my breastfeeding journey. It was just the type of support I needed. Thanks Katie!!

Did the breastfeeding course and will be doing the newborn care class in a few weeks. Thoroughly enjoyed the breastfeeding class. Katie has such a wealth of knowledge. Feel so much more prepared, and more aware of all the needs to know with regards to feeding options. Really looking forward to the next class.

Katie's webinar was great. Full of information considered from every possible situation. Personally, I would have preferred if the Q&A session was done as a live (virtual) conversation rather than the Zoom chat function. Aside from this, an excellent session!

Absolutely loved this class! So full of information and Katie I'd extremely knowledgeable. I decided to do the class because I wasn't sure whether I was ready to start weaning or not and I wanted information on how it's done. Katie delivered what I wanted to know and so much more. For now, I have decided not to wean just yet. But when I do decide its time, I have all the information I need to do it safely and at the right time for me and my baby. Thank you Katie!
