A calm and gentle approach to helping make breastfeeding work for you
Hi, I’m Leigh-Anne – the IBCLC behind Latch Love Grow offering calm, gentle help to make breastfeeding feel more manageable and meaningful for you and your baby.
Breastfeeding isn’t always as straightforward as we expect — and it can be harder than anyone tells you.
I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and midwife with over 20 years of experience supporting families through the early days of feeding and parenting. I offer in-home and virtual consultations across Perth, WA, to meet you where you are — with care that’s calm, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique situation.
My background includes working as a midwife in both South Africa and Australia, attending births in homes and hospitals alike. I’ve also volunteered for many years as a Breastfeeding Counsellor supporting feeding from start to weaning. These experiences have given me a deep respect for the emotional and physical demands of early parenthood, and a heartfelt understanding of the breastfeeding challenges that can come with it.
If breastfeeding is painful, or things just don’t feel quite right, I’m here to help you work towards a more comfortable and effective LATCH — so feeding can feel like a moment of connection, not a source of stress.
Because breastfeeding is never just about milk — it’s about comfort, closeness, and LOVE.
Babies fed with milk and love… GROW.
And I’d love to support you as you grow together with your baby.
