This service is provided by Charlotte Hughes an independent practitioner who we refer and collaborate with.
We are delighted to collaborate with Charlotte Hughes, an experienced Tongue Tie Practitioner and Lactation Consultant. Charlotte is a Registered Midwife and IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) internationally recognised qualification in lactation and infant feeding and a passionate educator and guest speaker, sharing her expertise with parents and professionals across Surrey and Hampshire.
Charlotte’s own feeding journeys were never straightforward, and each one brought its own challenges. Finding the right support made such a difference to her that it became the inspiration behind her work today; helping other families feel informed, confident, and truly supported as they find what works for them.
She knows just how overwhelming those early days and nights can be, and she’s passionate about making sure no family has to navigate them alone.
Providing expert support for families facing feeding challenges, from breastfeeding or chestfeeding difficulties and tricky bottle feeders to tongue tie concerns, Charlotte helps with everything from breastfeeding worries, bottle or mixed feeding, expressing and pumping, latch and comfort and tongue tie questions.
Every consultation is tailored to you and your baby, whether at home, online, or as part of ongoing feeding support. Below is a full breakdown of services, with the option to add weeks of WhatsApp support following your appointment for extra reassurance between visits.
All appointment include a written summary and a personalised feeding plan, shared via email following the consultation.
WhatsApp support gives you two weeks of direct messaging access following your appointment, for question and reassurance as you settle in.
If you are experiencing breastfeeding issues such as:
A comprehensive breastfeeding, physical, and oral assessment, followed by bespoke support and an individual feeding plan.
Additional support is available in person or remotely as required.
Feeding a baby isn’t always as straightforward as everyone makes it sound; when you’re exhausted, second-guessing everything, and just want someone kind to tell you you’re doing okay, the last thing you need is a waiting list or a fee.
Charlotte will be running a completely free Infant Feeding Clinic from September.
More information coming soon.
There will be no booking, or pressure, just turn up.
Come as you are. Pyjamas under your coat, three-day-old feeding notes scribbled on your phone. Order a coffee, let your little one snooze or grizzle as they please, and chat things through.

Not every feeding question needs a full consultation.
Charlotte will be available at Meadowside on Tuesdays for relaxed drop-in feeding support; giving you a chance to ask questions, talk through a concern or simply get a little reassurance. 🤍
Whether it’s latch, positioning, bottle feeding, expressing, milk supply, reflux, tongue tie or something just doesn’t feel quite right, come and have a chat.
Come as you are ; you and your baby are very welcome.
