About Me

Hello! Bonjour! Ciao!

Who am I?

Thankyou for visiting my website and finding out all about how I can help you to have the best parenting journey for you. I am really passionate about infant feeding choices, empowering people to do what is right for them and achieving their goals. I am proud to work with the LGBTQ+ community and I am experienced with families of multiples. You can read my 5 star reviews Here

What do I do?

I have achieved 22 years service in the NHS predominantly as a local Community Midwife and a Specialist Infant Feeding Midwife. I was part of the original team to achieve the first Baby Friendly Initiative (BFI) Status at Birmingham Women’s Hospital. I have run large voluntary breastfeeding support groups in South Birmingham with a charity called La Leche League- one of the first parenting support charities focusing on Infant Feeding. I achieved the qualification of an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2019, offering tongue tie services (frenulotomy) from 2023 to be able to provide a holistic approach to the families I meet. I am a member of Lactation Consultants of Great Britain (LCGB), Association of Tongue-tie Practitioners (ATP), the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), Royal College of Midwives (RCM) plus registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). 

In my spare time (what’s that?!) I like to walk my dogs, (but that’s only really because I also like eating chocolate!) I have 4 amazing children and now live in beautiful Worcester, having spent most of my life living in South Birmingham. 

What is an IBCLC?

IBCLCs are health care professionals who have provided 1000+ hours of infant feeding support, plus 90 hours of lactation-specific education and then in 2019 I passed a 4 hour board exam, which we need to pass again every 5 years.  All IBCLCs are certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE) and in addition I liaise with a West Midlands network of other IBCLC’s. Therefore this is the highest qualification obtainable in breastfeeding in the world which makes IBCLCs a real fountain of knowledge for Infant Feeding Support!

What about tongue-tie?

I completed my Advanced Clinical Skills in Tongue-Tie Management course at the University of Wolverhampton (Masters, Level 7) with my clinical practice at Kidderminster Minor Injuries Unit as part of Worcester Royal Acute Hospital. I offer services in Birmingham, Worcester and Cheltenham, either in a clinic or within your own home.

I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you on your journey! Get in touch with any questions!

Had an appointment today for our two week old baby regarding a suspected tongue tie. Deb was very thorough, professional, supportive and reassuring. Even after our appointment, Deb has provided aftercare support and advice which has helped us massively. Would definitely recommend Deb to anyone.

Wow! What a fantastic lady Deb is! Thank you so much! I booked my son in with suspected tongue tie, and I'm so glad I booked with Dream Feeds. Deb showed me how hefty my sons tongue tie actually was, and was brilliant in advising and offering advice on a frenulotomy. We went ahead and it was so quick and easy, with lots of detailed aftercare. Deb was friendly and welcoming, and her home clinic was lovely and clean. I didn't think breastfeeding was uncomfortable before, but I noticed a difference straight away after the procedure! I must have just got used to the discomfort! I'm so glad we chose Dream Feeds, and I would highly recommend to anyone needing support or advice on breastfeeding and/or tongue tie! Thank you again! x

We had such a positive experience with Deborah at Dream Feeds Ltd. We were advised that our baby had an obvious tongue tie, and we were worried that waiting for an NHS referral would have a real impact on our feeding journey. We found Deborah online and were so grateful to get a next-day appointment.

From the moment we met Deborah, we were instantly put at ease. She took the time to listen to our situation, explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions and thoroughly assessed our baby’s tongue tie. She confirmed that he did have one and we decided to go ahead with the procedure.

The procedure itself was so quick and reassuring. Our baby barely cried and there was minimal bleeding. He was then put straight onto the breast, which was such a lovely and reassuring moment for us.

Deborah also spent time going through different feeding positions with us and gave us so much helpful information and advice. We received a detailed follow-up email afterwards, which was brilliant as we could refer back to everything at home.

We would highly recommend Deborah and Dream Feeds Ltd to any parents who are considering tongue-tie assessment and treatment. We felt completely supported throughout the whole experience and, after our experience, we would have absolutely no worries about having a tongue tie procedure done again. Thank you so much, Deborah! ❤️

We had a great experience at Dream Feeds. Deb was able to fit us in within a few days of little one being born, identified a tongue tie and completed the procedure there and then. She also helped us with feeding and latch whilst we were there. I believe this saved our breastfeeding journey! Within 24 hours baby was latching really well and by the following week had begun gaining back his birth weight. We really appreciated the follow up contact from Deb, checking how things were, providing useful resources and seeing if we needed any further support. We did have a follow up appointment to check the tie hadn’t reattached, and Deb provided further lactation support which was super helpful along with advice on expressing and introducing a bottle.
Would definitely recommend booking with Deb if you need help with feeding or suspect your little one has a tongue tie. We’re still exclusively BF 4 months down the line. Worth every penny.

Deb saved my breastfeeding journey! I contacted Deb after weeks of having vasospasm. Every feed was awful and I was in so much pain. She assessed my baby’s oral function and confirmed that she had tongue tie. She did the revision, and after a week (doing exercises Deb suggested everyday) her latch is improved. She is now feeding very well and I haven’t had any issue since. Thank you so much! X

We took our Son to see Deborah when he was  16 days old, he was struggling to feed, choking, gulping, being sick and very irritable.
Within a couple minutes we were put at ease, Deborah is very professional and lovely, she  explained the procedure of tongue tie and put our minds at rest.
After the procedure was carried out perfectly our son benefited straight away from it.

I’d highly recommend Deborah and couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you for helping us, you’re a star.

I revisited Deb with my son at 4 months having seen her when he was just a few days old to fix his tongue tie. The procedure at the time worked a treat. From not being able to feed very well to pain free breastfeeding. I went to see Deb again to get a check up and everything was great with the tongue tie and he continues to feed well. Deb helped me with a concern I had with blocked ducts and gave me the reassurance that feeding is still going well and some tips to help relieve the blockage. Seems to be working. What I really like is her supportive and non judgement attitude. Her reassurance alone is worth a visit! Thanks again Deb.

Deborah was amazing, she managed to fit me in at short notice with no hesitation. She made me feel heard and didn’t dismiss my concerns. Amazing advice and support through and after the appointment. Amazing service and great with baby! Reassuring parents and baby throughout the process.

Deb was really knowledgable and helpful in diagnosing and separating my son’s tongue tie and helping to make sure his latch was good. Feeding was immediately better- comfortable and painless.

We went to Deb with a suspected tongue tie. She was amazing with our son, was able to complete an assessment and division and has provided us with some useful resources to help us to continue with our breastfeeding journey! She communicated clearly, and was able to see us at short notice which was amazing!
