Judy Kirkwood Consultant

Judy Kirkwood Consultant Judy Kirkwood - Lead Director of Best Start Baby NPO. She offers face-to-face & online consultations.

Internationally certified lactation consultant (IBCLC), Judy has experience in psychiatry, midwifery & a unique Sharklatch breastfeeding technique. At Best Start Baby, our aim is to give you the confidence and peace of mind to make the best choices for you and your baby! We also understand that parenting does not come with a manual. As an experienced Lactation Consultant and Midwife, my consulting

expertise is based on getting breastfeeding to work quickly and make things STICK! My patented "SHARKLATCH" TECHNIQUE is especially loved by dads in teaching the baby to latch like a pro and 100% works. I offer face-to-face consultations, videocalls and phone calls. Each consultation is followed up with a treatment plan and support.

🍅 One tomato can be bigger than the other… and guess what? Breasts can be too! 🤗

It’s completely normal for one breast to be slightly bigger or shaped differently from the other. Our bodies are beautifully unique, and there is no “perfect pair.” ❤️

Get to know your breasts, understand what is normal for YOU, and don’t be ashamed of your beautiful, unique body. 🤱🏾🌸

Love your bo***es and know your body! 💕

Your health in your hands 🙌. Let’s do our best together ❤️💙🩷🌍🇿🇦🤗

Keeping my play and interactive time with toddler Sean playful and fun. What a gift to interact and work alongside Innocent and Dora as they raise their son. 👦 Building healthy immune systems and making heart ♥️ connections is important for my soul. I am happiest with children as I value their honesty and experiences of life. As parents and caregivers we have a responsibility to give our children roots to grow and “wings 🪽” to develop through their lives.

Seeing Anne Badenhorst a long time colleague from Medela SA and a valuable Agora Ladies knitting member was such a treat this am. The Cheshire Chest Coffee and thrift shop in Northwold Johannesburg never disappoints. Pop In you will become a regular visitor !! Heart ♥️ connections keep us going.

Back in July, while visiting Alex Township in Johannesburg, a few community members asked me, “Nurse Judy, please bring us condoms!”

Well… I listened! And I’ve arrived back from New Zealand with some funky condoms! 😜🌍

But jokes aside, looking after ourselves means being responsible, practising safe s*x and knowing your HIV and STI status. Knowing your status gives you the power to get the right support, treatment and care when you need it. ❤️

We’re here for you every step of the way!

AFFIRMATION SIGNPOST!!!🤍 One of my favourite things about travelling is discovering little reminders along the way. 🌍🇳🇿

Adventure. Learning. Quest. Opportunities. Leadership.

Life is a journey, and every new place, every person we meet and every experience has something to teach us. As I travel through New Zealand, I’m reminded to stay curious, embrace opportunities and keep following the path God places before me. 🙏❤️

You never know where the next signpost might lead you! 🚶‍♀️🌏✨

Look at this MOTHERS SPACE QUIETLY TUCKED AWAY TO SUPPORT MOTHERS, Babies 👶 and growing families. My prayer is that more feeding pods like this can be found around all hospital facilities in Africa. Growing families need support from the start. Don’t you love the piano 🎹 playing? What a joy and relaxing experience 🤗
