Amy Chatburn-Stevens: IBCLC Lactation Consultant Newcastle

I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) offering antenatal and postnatal breastfeeding/chestfeeding/bodyfeeding support on Awabakal Country NSW- Lake Macquarie & Newcastle regions. I have been working with families for 15 years in my role as a Registered Midwife/ Registered Nurse. I am passionate about working with families to help them reach their feeding goals. I have

a no-judgement approach and know all families have different needs, of which I will support. I am a mum of two children- both of which needed breastfeeding assistance at various times, so I know first hand that breastfeeding is not always easy! I also have a keen interest and personal experience in breastfeeding babies/toddlers with serious food allergies and intolerances. Please note throughout my page and posts I will sometimes say 'breastfeeding' and 'mum' out if habit, but I acknowledge that sometimes parents (birth parent and/or non birth parent) are chest or body feeding and/or do not identify as female. I want you to know that you are included and I would love to help you on your feeding journey. And that I am always working on using more inclusive language :)

Please see services section for support available. Private health insurance rebates may be available- I am a recognised provider with most health funds- but please check with your fund and level of cover to check they cover Lactation Consultations. I would also like to respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work. I pay my respects to Elders- past, present, and future, and hold an appreciation for the sharing of their knowledge.
