Dee Bell RM, IBCLC and Specialist Tongue-tie Practitioner

I live near Brighton with the fabulous 10-year-old Florence. I am a registered midwife, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and a Specialist Tongue-Tie Practitioner.

I trained to become a Midwife over 20 years ago and worked within the NHS for over 16 years before leaving to specialise in Infant Feeding and Tongue-tie in private practice.

I founded Birth, Baby & You (a feeding support service for new families) in order to offer a more bespoke service to my clients and give them the expert support and time they so desperately need.

I have supported thousands of families with Infant feeding and have carried out literally thousands of tongue-tie releases over the past 13 years as a specialist.

In 2021 I fulfilled a dream and founded The Infant Feeding Academy, in order to teach other Practitioners to do what I do!

Teaching dedicated Practitioners to provide high-quality support is literally a dream come true. I can’t wait to welcome you to our team of trained professionals.

Welcome from course tutor, Olivia Hinge RM. IBCLC...

I am a mum to three and a Hospital Lactation Consultant. Having found establishing feeding with my first child really challenging, despite being a midwife. I decided to train as a lactation consultant and qualified in 2019.

Since then I’ve been on a mission to support families to make informed decisions about how they feed their baby. In a way that works for them as a family, based on facts and dispelling myths.

I started my Instagram account in 2021 in order to provide free resources for parents and its popularity has skyrocketed over the last year, now reaching over 54 thousand followers.

I joined The Infant Feeding Academy in 2022 to teach on the ‘Newborn Nurslings’ module, which was fantastic! I will be joining you to teach throughout the program and can’t wait to deliver evidence-based up-to-date feeding training for Practitioners.
