Bump Boobs Babi

Midwife-led infant feeding and tongue-tie care across South Wales

Bump Boobs Babi is a private practice founded in 2021 that supports families through pregnancy, feeding and early parenting. Its team combines midwifery, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) qualifications and tongue-tie practitioner training. The service covers all of South Wales and operates clinics in Swansea, Cardiff, Carmarthen and Newport, with home visits also listed among its options.

Feeding support for every method

The practice supports breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, pumping and mixed approaches. Its stated aim is to help families achieve comfortable, easier feeds and calmer days. The team works with parents on challenges such as early weight loss, low milk supply, painful feeding and the use of formula or expressed milk. One published case describes supporting a mother whose baby had lost 9% of birth weight and was still below birth weight at four weeks, combining help at the breast with temporary extra milk while supply increased.

Tongue-tie assessment and division

Tongue-tie services include assessment of tongue function, feeding support and, where necessary, division of the tie. The clinic describes carrying out a thorough oral assessment and, in one case, identifying a significant tongue tie and high palate before providing feeding support and later performing a division at the clinic. Another account describes a same-day division following assessment. The service is available to families regardless of how their baby is fed; one testimonial refers to a baby who was bottle-fed.

Unsettled babies and holistic sleep support

The practice specialises in unsettled babies, exploring possible contributors such as reflux, allergy or colic. Holistic sleep support is listed among its services. A published case involving twins describes identifying a tongue tie in one baby, signs of muscle tension in the other, and suggesting an osteopath alongside guidance on bottle use. Both holistic sleep support and the unsettled baby service are marked as coming soon on the site.

Pregnancy and antenatal services

An Early Pregnancy Workshop and midwife-led antenatal classes are listed, covering the period from a positive test to the fourth trimester. Both are marked as coming soon at the time of writing. Free baby feeding groups are also listed among the services.
