Kate Maynard is a Lactation Consultant based in Hyde Park, QLD. You can find her at 12-14 Oxford Street, Hyde Park QLD 4812. Kate helps families get breastfeeding off to the right start, and she also supports parents when things change after the early weeks.
Breastfeeding can feel simple for some people, and really hard for others. Kate’s focus is on the practical stuff that makes a difference day to day. That includes breastfeeding education, so you can understand what’s normal, what to watch for, and why feeding might look different from one day to the next.
A big part of Kate’s work is latch assessment. If a baby is struggling to latch, it can cause pain, poor milk transfer, and stress for everyone in the room. Kate looks at the latch and feeding pattern and works through what to try next, step by step. At times, small tweaks can make a big difference.
Kate also helps with milk supply evaluation. Some parents worry they don’t have enough milk, even when their baby is doing well. Other times, there may be feeding issues that affect supply over time. Kate takes a calm approach and helps you make sense of what’s going on, using the information gathered during the consult.
For many families, it’s not just about one feed. Kate supports you with feeding plan development, so you have a clear, realistic plan that fits your routine. The goal is to make breastfeeding feel more steady, with options you can adjust as your baby grows.
Kate usually sees parents with newborns and young babies, along with anyone dealing with common breastfeeding challenges like latch problems, feeding discomfort, and worries about supply. She aims to keep things grounded and useful, not overwhelming.
If you’re looking for support with breastfeeding education, latch assessment, milk supply evaluation, or a feeding plan, Kate Maynard is there to help. The consult is built around your situation and the questions you bring in, so you leave with clearer next steps.
