Hey! I'm Mel.
And I want you to get the support you deserve.
I was in the same shoes that you’re in now after I had my first baby. I thought I would be fine. I had a decades worth of experience as a paediatric nurse and midwife. How hard could having a baby be?
What I didn’t expect was the complete sense of overwhelm I felt by the abundance of conflicting and confusing information thrown at me around my little ones feeding and sleep.
I would desperately google at 2am trying to find support, but all I found was outdated non-responsive advice like cry-it-out. Leaving my little one alone to cry just broke my heart and I knew there was a better way.
That was the catalyst that changed everything. Since then I have completed two world renowned sleep certifications and became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).
I have been so fortunate to have been able to support hundreds of families since then, whose lives have transformed with the support I have been able to offer.
I now look forward to sharing my unique roadmap with you, to help you reach your breastfeeding goals and get more sleep without ever sleep training.
I get it, because I am in the thick of it, right there with you.
I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Holistic Sleep Coach, Paediatric Nurse, Midwife & Mum of 3, living on the sunny Gold Coast.
I created Cocoon & Cradle so you never have to go through what I did, as a first time mum 6 years ago. Instead I want you to skip straight to third time mum me, truly calm and confident around all things sleep & feeding.
More sleep and better breastfeeding is here...
