About me

Hi i'm Pauline Evans a trained lactation consultant:
I trained as a General Nurse, qualifying in 1987, and subsequently worked in a variety of clinical
settings which included nursing premature babies, children’s nursing and in general practice. I
trained and qualified as a Midwife in early 2001 and, although no longer practicing/registered, I use
my knowledge and experience of birth and feeding practices in my current role as a Specialist Infant
Feeding lead for an NHS Community Trust, a post I have held since 2010. In this role, I teach staff
how to support mums and babies with all aspects of breast and bottle feeding and have run a virtual
breastfeeding support clinic. I also deliver training to practitioners around breastfeeding skills and
tongue tie management, in addition to devising pathways around challenges such as mastitis and
faltering growth in babies.
I have supported many mums and NHS staff over the years, utilising my specialist knowledge as
a lactation consultant to help with issues such as building milk supply, re-lactation, faltering growth,
reflux, and recognising and treating various allergies. I have also progressed my knowledge in further
training as a tongue tie practitioner and have a certificate in oro facial myofunctional therapy which
means that I can provide more holistic, personalised, one to one care for you and your baby if you
are experiencing difficulties with feeding.
