Yes, absolutely—you CAN get pregnant whilst breastfeeding.

​Let’s break down the science so you can make informed choices for your body and your family👇

​💡Breastfeeding can act as a natural form of contraception, but only under very specific conditions. This is known as the Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM), and it can be up to 98% effective, BUT only if you meet ALL THREE of these criteria:

👶​Your baby is under 6 months old.

🩸​Your period has NOT returned (no spotting or bleeding after your initial postpartum recovery).

🤱You are EXCLUSIVELY breastfeeding on demand—day and night, with no long gaps (no more than 4 hours during the day or 6 hours at night), no dummies substituting feeds, no formula, and no solid foods.

​⚠️ Ovulation Happens BEFORE Your Period: Your body releases an egg about 2 weeks before you get your first postpartum period. That means you can ovulate and fall pregnant before you even realise your cycle has returned!

​🩺 What Should You Do?

​If you DO NOT want to conceive yet: Talk to your midwife, health visitor, or GP about breastfeeding-friendly contraception options (like condoms, the mini-pill, IUD, or implants) that won't impact your milk supply.

​If you DO want to conceive again: Be patient with your body. Every mother’s hormone balance returns at its own pace!

"What am I actually looking for in your baby's mouth?" 👅🔍

​A tongue-tie assessment isn’t just looking for a bit of skin under the tongue! As an IBCLC and Tongue-Tie Practitioner, I perform a holistic, head-to-toe assessment to see how your baby moves and functions👇

​👶 1. The Structures
• Frenulum: Is there tissue tethering the tongue or lip? Where does it attach, and how tight is it?
• Palate Shape: Is it high or narrow? (A restricted tongue can’t rest against it to widen it naturally in the womb).
• Jaw & Cheeks: Is there jaw asymmetry or cheek tension compensating for weak muscle control?

​☝️ 2. Movement & Reflexes
• Elevation & Extension: Can the tongue lift to the roof of the mouth and extend past the lip?
• Lateralisation: Can it move side-to-side?
• Suck Dynamics: Is baby cupping with their tongue, or squeezing with their gums/jaw?
• Peristaltic Wave: Is there a smooth, wave-like motion to sweep milk efficiently?

​🌿 3. Full-Body Posture
• Is baby favouring turning their head to one side (torticollis)?
• Are fists clenched, shoulders pulled up, or back arching during feeds?
• Tension in the head, neck, and shoulders directly impacts latch width.

​🤱 4. Evaluating a Feed
• Can baby achieve and maintain a deep, comfortable latch?
• Are there clicking sounds, milk leaking, or frequent slipping off?
• Is feeding peaceful, or marked by fussiness and air swallowing?

​💙 Why It Matters

A tongue tie is only clinically significant if it causes functional impairment. My goal is to find the root cause of your feeding challenges—whether that requires bodywork, oral exercises, position tweaks, or a frenulotomy.

Feeding shouldn't feel like a constant struggle. If you’re preparing for a tongue-tie evaluation, it’s completely normal to feel a bit anxious—but knowing what to expect makes a world of difference. 💕

​In this video, I’m sharing how to best prepare for an appointment with me so you and your baby feel supported every step of the way.

​Remember, whether you choose to breastfeed, bottle-feed, or a mixture of both, compassionate & expert support is available. You’re doing an amazing job. 🫶

To help clear up the confusion, I wrote a quick-reference guide decoding the most common infant feeding terms you’ll hear on your journey.
Understanding what these terms actually mean is the first step toward a calmer, more comfortable feeding journey.

Hey there! 👋 I’m Leah, the face behind Leah’s Lactation & Tongue Tie Services..

Just thought I would introduce myself again as I have a lot more followers since launching the business earlier this year and I always think its nice to see who will be turning up on your doorstep.

As a mum to three amazing girls, I know just how beautiful—and completely overwhelming—the postpartum journey can be. Feeding your baby shouldn't feel like a constant battle, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

​A little more about me when I’m not supporting families:
☕️ Fuelled by: Unreasonable amounts of coffee.
🏃‍♀️ In my element: Running, wild swimming, and being with my family.
🏊‍♀️ Fun Fact: I am also a swimming teacher for Turtle Tots.

​I’m deeply passionate about postnatal care and giving parents the compassionate, expert support they deserve. Whether you're navigating feeding challenges, suspect a tongue tie, or just need a safe space and an extra pair of hands, I’m here for you.
