Julia Dacey IBCLC
Expert feeding support in Dubai
I’m an IBCLC from the UK. I worked for 14 years as an NHS Specialist Neonatal Nurse. For the last 7 years I’ve also supported families as a feeding specialist and IBCLC. I’ve helped thousands of families find a feeding journey that works for them without going through all the pain that I and so many others have experienced.
To most mothers, including me, breastfeeding comes with big expectations. You picture it as natural and calm, then compare yourself to what you see online and other mums. When feeding becomes painful or stressful, that confidence can disappear fast. I’ve had both positive and difficult feeding journeys with my own children, so I understand how hard it can feel.
What support do you need?
Getting started?
You want to get it right from the start. Prepare for your feeding journey - before baby arrives.
Something’s wrong, you need answers. Targeted support for pain, latching, supply or sudden feeding issues.
Something not right?
Life’s changing?
You're life is changing pace. Planning to go back to work, travel or introducing bottles.
Get in touch
Whether you have complex needs, emotional overwhelm, or need personalised, in-depth care, I will support you the whole way through your feeding journey.
“Julia was the most incredible support in those early days and I will forever be grateful for the confidence she gave me when I needed it most. I met with her both pre and post baby to prep for feeding and then for guidance when things were a little tricky. Would highly highly highly recommend her”
