Bloom Lactation
At Bloom Lactation we feel so privileged to be a part of your parenting journey. Our mission is to bring you the most current up to date information to support you on your feeding journey.
Olivia Eddington, the face behind Bloom Lactation, is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with a Bachelor degree in Nursing and Midwifery. A mum of two herself, she has experienced first hand how the right support system can benefit a new mum and now more than ever is so passionate about empowering and educating women in order to support them through their feeding journey, whatever that might look like for you. Research suggests that the more educated and empowered we are, the better our breastfeeding outcomes are.
At Bloom Lactation we know that everyone's breastfeeding goals will look different, so we promise to bring you empathy and understanding, paired with the clinical skills required to support you. Whether you are pregnant, newly breastfeeding and just have a few questions or feel completely lost and need an individualized plan, get in touch and we are here to help.

Initial Consultation
$250
A consultation in the comfort of your own home for approximately 90 minutes. Consultation will include: full history, infant oral and feeding assessment and will give you a plan going forward. I will also be in contact with you via text or phone to ensure you are supported.
Whatever your concerns are we are here to support you and get you off to the right start or help get your feeding journey back on track.
Appointments available in the comfort of your home or in consult rooms located in East Melbourne.
*Virtual appointments also available.
Subsequent Consultation
$180
A follow up from our initial consult if you feel you need more support. Approximately 45mins. You are not alone on your journey, so you are welcome to book as many follow ups as you feel fit.
Subsequent consults can be completed in the comfort of your own home, clinic or online.
Phone Consultation
$90
Do you have some questions you want answered? Need tips for introducing a bottle, weaning from the breast or returning to work and wanting some support? A phone call of up to 30 minutes is often enough to get you on the right track and can be a good way to initiate support without requiring a whole appointment.
No matter what your location we can work together, get in touch to see how this may work for you.
