Breastfeeding medicine combines the expertise of a medical doctor with experience in supporting women and families with breastfeeding that allows diagnosis and management of complex breastfeeding related issues. A breastfeeding medicine GP is a medical doctor with specialist training through the breadth of general practice presentations and additional training in the field of breastfeeding and lactation support.

Dr Laura Baxter is a specialist General Practitioner. She has a special interest in perinatal care (care of women during their pregnancies and after birth including care of their babies in the first year of life). Dr Laura is currently focussing on post-natal care, in particular, supporting women and their babies who are breastfeeding. She also provides education and planning care for pregnant women who are aiming to breastfeed.

Dr Laura has done over 100 hours of education in breastfeeding medicine including Possums/Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC) workshops and masterclasses and aiming to complete accreditation in the near future.  She is working towards becoming a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

Focussing on breastfeeding medicine allows Dr Laura the luxury of extra long appointments enabling her to fully explore your breastfeeding concerns with an evidence-based lens.
