About The Gentle Latch

The Gentle Latch is dedicated to your breastfeeding journey. My name is Abi, I am a solo practitioner supporting families who are experiencing breastfeeding challenges or have concerns about tongue tie, across Lancashire and parts of Greater Manchester (including Ramsbottom, Haslingden, Bury, Bolton and Prestwich). I understand that every mother and baby is unique and tailor my approach to meet your individual needs. My aim is to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to build a strong, healthy breastfeeding experience. Providing access to timely and compassionate support when you need it most.

I’m a midwife with over 14 years experience, a certified IBCLC lactation consultant and a registered tongue-tie practitioner. As a mum of two gorgeous boys, both of whom I breastfed, my passion is to help other families have the same enjoyable and supportive journey.​

Family testimonials

“Abi played a truly monumental role in my breastfeeding journey. I'm so grateful for the guidance she offered in those early weeks when I was close to giving up. Her encouragement and steady support helped me go on to exclusively breastfeed my baby, who is now gaining weight beautifully, while I remain completely pain free. I couldn't be more thankful”- Georgia, January 2026
