My name is Julie-Anne Harrison and I established alittlehelp in 2012 as I wanted to provide one on one support to parents and their babies.
Julie-Anne Harrison (she/her) RN RM CHN IBCLC
I have been working with parents and babies for over 30 years and during that time have become aware of the need for compassionate, evidenced-based support during this often-challenging time.
I have worked as a midwife in postnatal units, special care and neonatal intensive care nurseries. Since gaining tertiary qualifications in Child Youth and Family Health, I am now able to work with families beyond the early weeks, addressing the older baby’s feeding challenges.
As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant I am required to maintain and update my knowledge of breastfeeding so that I am able to deliver current evidence informed lactation care.
In my role as an IBCLC I have presented to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners on the subject of “Infant Feeding in the Fourth Trimester – Supporting the mother-infant dyad”. I have also presented “Feeding in the First Year” to mothers’ groups.
I have been privileged to have been asked to share my thoughts of being an IBCLC in private practice, for World Breastfeeding Week.
I feel very fortunate that my passion is also my job. Working with you, it is my hope that you feel supported, enabling you to be more confident with feeding your baby.
