Ep: 56 - A Wholistic Approach to Breastfeeding with Melissa Hays IBCLC, Midwife & Mama of 2

Welcome back beautiful mama to another episode of the Nurture Hub Podcast. In this episode, we invite Melissa Hays from Cocoon & Cradle to share with us some insight into a holistic approach to breastfeeding. Melissa is a Gold Coast-based Midwife, Lactation Consultant and Sleep Specialist who provides services for mums & mums-to-be who want holistic and evidence-based breastfeeding, sleep and early parenting support. As you may have guessed, Cocoon & Cradle is not your average early parenting support service. Most consultants have training in only one area; lactation or sleep. Whereas Melissa is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and holistic sleep coach, in addition to 10+ years of experience as a paediatric nurse and midwife. This is how she is able to offer truly holistic care. By pulling together all the pieces of the puzzle from feeding, sleep and development, Melissa is able to identify the root cause of the issue and work together with you to come up with a creative solution. On top of her professional experience, She is also a mum to two very energetic but beautiful toddlers. So believe her when she says, She gets what it’s like for new mamas. Melissa launched Cocoon & Cradle in 2020 because she felt there was not enough support and too much confusing and conflicting information regarding early parenthood. To be honest, She was sick of seeing incorrect and sometimes harmful advice being given out to unknowing mums and mums-to-be. Why? Because you deserve better. Since launching she has been able to support hundreds of mums all while focusing on responsive feeding and parenting, and biologically normal sleep.
