Tors Pearcy IBCLC, Infant Feeding Support Reviews 

Wonderful, warm and supportive session! Tors is super knowledgeable and has the most kind and understanding manner which put me at ease instantly and allowed me to trust her to latch my baby on for me even with all the pain I was in. She has gone above and beyond to support me with onward contact for support and a detailed feedback/analysis/feeding plan which has left me feeling a million times better than before I attended the session. 10/10 recommend, thank you Tors!

I had a consult with Tors following 10 weeks of my baby having slow weight gain that I was getting little NHS support with and I was at the point that I was going to stop breastfeeding completely to safeguard my baby. She arranged to see me as soon as possible and it was the first time I had felt seen and heard in my breastfeeding journey - I hadn’t realised quite how important that would feel for me.
She put together a plan that was workable for me, has been on hand when I needed her and my daughter has been heading in the right direction ever since.
Without Tors my breastfeeding journey would be something I would have just had stressed memories of and I definitely wouldn’t still be breastfeeding my daughter at 5 months.

I had already had a consultation with Tors at the beginning of my breastfeeding journey for pain when feeding which resolved within 2 weeks of my consultation. I have been breastfeeding for nearly a year but felt anxious tvo return to work and wasn’t sure how to navigate breastfeeding and work / nursery so decided to have another consultation with Tors as I was so happy with the help I had previously. Tors was really lovely and put my mind at ease. We worked through a plan to help transition my baby into nursery which I am putting into place now. I feel happier and more confident going back to work now- thank you again Tors!

We really didn't know where to turn with our 4 month old who was suffering with silent reflux, CMPA, slow weight gain and signs of bottle aversion, but Tors gave us the magic wand and put us on the right road to overcome these hurdles.

I breastfed my first baby who had similar issues, and naively thought bottle feeding would be the easier route for my second. But bottle or breast - they all come with their own, sometimes complex, feeding issues, and Tors is an expert is both areas.
She took a thorough history and really listened to our whole journey up until now.
Her expertise and knowledge in her job was so evident and she was able to identify several reasons that were likely all contributing to the silent reflux and bottle aversion. Overnight, our baby went from drinking 10oz in 24hrs to 23oz!

Tors is caring, understanding and made us feel so heard. My only regret is that we didn't get Tors' support much sooner. I would encourage anyone who is having any feeding issues, whether bottle of breast to get Tors' support. It will be the best money you've spent!

Tors is an amazing and compassionate lady who you truly feel cares about you, your baby or in my case babies and helping you have a successful breastfeeding journey.

From the moment she arrived I felt I could lean into her and trust her and her extensive knowledge. She went above and beyond during my time with her.

Although I feel I’ve forgotten lots of what she told me, messaging her through WhatsApp and the support and advice she gave after reassured me I hadn’t and I wasn’t supposed to have it completely nailed instantly. The follow up WhatsApp service is great to know you’re not suddenly alone and she responds when I’m sure she should be not working at all!

Couldn’t recommend her more if you need support with breastfeeding.

Thank you so much. X

Great getting back to me so quickly.

Extremely knowledgeable. Up to date on all evidence and change in guidance. Both me and my husband felt extremely comfortable immediately. Tors made us feel empowered and confident in our ability. I felt no judgement and no question was stupid. I would recommend everyone wanting a successful breast feeding journey go and see Tors. The continuous support afterwards was very appreciated as we implemented the changes she recommended. Can’t thank Tors enough!

Tors helped us immensely with ours twins and their bottle feeding. My son was on infant gaviscon for his reflux and was having to go onto laxatives as a result of the medication. One session with Tors and we are off all meds and my son’s reflux is no longer an issue.
If you are having difficulties feeding either breast or bottle then I highly recommend Tors. Her knowledge and experience is well worth the money

Tors is absolutely fabulous at what she does, so informative and full of up to date knowledge. She has supported us with our baby who was unable to take a bottle, in just a few weeks she now takes a bottle with no issues. Tors provided us with a detailed plan to follow and checked in often to see how we were doing. She is always quick to reply and so encouraging.

Tors also supported me two years ago with my first child due to issues with tounge tie, slow weight gain and pain when feeding and if it wasn't for her support I would have given up, I went on to feed him for a year.

If you are thinking of reaching out for support from Tors, do it, you will have expert support, positive encouragement and she will undoubtedly improve your breastfeeding experience.

Where do I even start! We felt so let down with absolutely no support after a low birthweight baby who was IUGR and emergency c section. Add to that a bad tongue tie, bleeding and agony when feeding that actually made me cry. Seems health professionals just want to tick a box saying feeding ok ✔️
Along came Tors 🤍 We learnt feeding doesn’t have to be painful while waiting for a tongue tie division. Tors travelled a long way to support us and stayed with us helping with positioning and latching until we were confident. She helped me heal damaged boobs (without the pricey purple tube). She provided ongoing support at the end of the phone and has such a wealth of knowledge to support you in your feeding journey. We had support before, after and even during our tongue tie division. Feeding is now painless, we can feed anywhere anytime and baby is chunking up like there is no tomorrow making up for lost time for sure. We are so grateful we had this support and could keep breastfeeding after all these challenges. If you are struggling reach out. You won’t regret it! 🤍

I contacted Tors for some support for breastfeeding when my second baby was only a couple of weeks old. I had naively thought I would have no problems as I had successfully breastfed my first child and had not long stopped breastfeeding before re starting with the new baby. Firstly, Tors gave me much needed reassurance that I could do it again and reminded me that feeding a newborn compared to a toddler was just different. Indeed, I needed reminding! The online support was perfect for my busy life with 2 children under 2. The ability to send a video of feeding when I had some quiet time was much more ideal than scheduling a visit. I was then able to read the specific feedback when I had some quiet time with just my newborn and time to implement and practice her suggestions. The feedback included annotated images as to what to do differently which were so clear that I was left with no queries as to what was being suggested. Tors was prompt to reply, super helpful and very positive - which definitely helped my mental health at a stressful time too. I would definitely recommend - there really is no need to struggle on your own. I'm pleased to say I'm now 4 successful months into my second breastfeeding journey. Thank you again.

Simply cannot put into words how amazing Tors is. Tors is the woman every mother needs in her “village”. I’ve seen Tors twice now and each time have come out beaming with confidence and feeling ready to conquer anything motherhood throws at me! We’ve covered breastfeeding, sleeping and weaning and it’s been invaluable. I cannot thank her enough!

Tors was absolutely amazing - so kind & supportive with me & our 10day old daughter over Christmas when other support was limited in availability. My breastfeeding journey would not have made the progress it has without Tors - thank you x

The support I received from Tors was invaluable, and I can say with almost certainty without her support I would have been unable to continue breast feeding my baby. As an experienced breastfeeding mother I didn’t anticipate having issues feeding my third baby, but she was born with a posterior tongue tie which meant feeding her was extremely difficult. Tors is incredibly knowledgeable and gave me the skills and tools to feed my baby. She empathetically supported me whilst allowing me to feel empowered to continue my breastfeeding journey. She was incredibly responsive to our needs. Thank you so much, we will be forever grateful for your amazing help!

I felt at ease and like there was no judgement at our meeting, shes reallyapproachable. Loads of the subject i needed guidance on was covered, the info was really useful, some of it was really new and interesting and other stuff felt like common sense which felt good as I knew this common sense was backed up by lots of research.

I wanted to share my journey with Tors, she is amazing to say the least. When I was pregnant with my little girl, all I wanted to do was breastfeed. Tors was there from day one, and provided me with an extensive knowledge of what to do. After encountering some difficulties with the birth and just feeling purely exhausted, Tors was at the hospital by my side straight away. She turned up full of such helpful advice and different approaches I could try to get my little girl to latch. Amazingly, after performing an oral assessment, Tors spotted that she had a tongue tie, which was promptly resolved in the hospital by a kind colleague who carried out a frenotomy on the tongue tie (I think that’s what it’s called). It was only out of pure exhaustion and what I now know was postnatal anxiety that I did not stick with my breastfeeding journey. Tors was AMAZING. She not only came to the hospital with her incredible expertise and dedication to helping me, but she was so kind, so funny, made me laugh when I needed it the most, and you can really see how driven she is to help others and so passionate about her work.

Long story short, Tors continued to help me and reminded me that she is a lactation consultant which means a lot of her job is not just providing support with breastfeeding, but also bottle feeding. She made me aware of paced bottle feeding which honestly has saved my confidence with feeding my little girl, I wanted to ensure that whichever way she was being fed that it was being done properly. Not a lot of people realise how bottle feeding your child requires different skills and methods, and Tors taught me that. Being able to pace feed has helped me so much, Tors has also given me advice on positions of feeding such as side feeding to create a deeper latch and the size of the teats to use. I’ve learned so much from her.

I’ve written this review not only to express my gratitude to Tors, but to reach out to any mums-to-be out there considering some support with bottle feeding. Tors has helped me with breastfeeding AND bottle feeding, and ultimately she supports whichever method of feeding you choose and supports you 100% with the same level of dedication to both methods. She is so dedicated to her work and genuinely wants to help others. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking support. Thank you Tors for everything.

Tors has been an absolute blessing. I was struggling to get my baby to latch and I didn't really understand the problem. I signed up to Tors online course and it was really informative and gave great support and additional understanding as to what is happening.

Following this when I had questions Tors was on hand to help answer my queries. She truly did go above and beyond for my baby and I and gave the best advise for us, we have since got a pediatric osteopath session booked for our baby to help relieve some of his tension and stress.

Highly recommend Tors and her work, the effort and enthusiasm is next to none!

I cannot recommend Tors, the IBCLC consultant, highly enough! When I first reached out to her, I was in such a low place. My self-esteem had hit rock bottom, my mum guilt was overwhelming, and I was dealing with excruciating nipple pain. I honestly felt like giving up.

Tors was an absolute lifeline. She offered me support immediately and made me feel seen and understood. Her compassionate approach helped me regain my confidence and gave me the reassurance I so desperately needed. On top of that, her scientifically backed and practical advice was invaluable.

It took a few more weeks of practice to get a consistent pain-free latch, and Tors continued to support me through every step of those weeks. I wish I had reached out to her sooner and had this information before my baby was born. She has completely transformed my breastfeeding journey, and I’m so grateful for her guidance.

I came to Tors for help after a bit of a difficult feeding journey and feeling quite defeated.

I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Tors is warm and friendly and made me feel comfortable and at ease. She helped me to come up with a plan and this included several things I hadn’t considered before with a bit of ‘out of the box’ thinking. Aside from the practical support, having someone to actually talk to about how I was feeling and what I was experiencing made a huge difference.

On top of the appointment itself, you get 2 weeks of follow up support which again was great to have as we could tweak our plan of action as needed as things changed in real time. Tors always responds promptly and nothing is too much trouble.

If you’re struggling with any aspect of your feeding journey, don’t suffer alone! Get in touch with Tors, you won’t regret it.

Thank you so much again Tors!

If I could give 100 stars I would. What a beautiful person inside and out.

Tors has been absolutely amazing! The amount of knowledge, experience & patience she has is so inspiring.

From birth to 9 weeks old we were combi feeding. So 50/50 breastmilk and formula. Well I say 50 breastmilk, but every feed was long winded, my son being on me for over 45 minutes and then taking 3oz of formula/breastmilk afterwards. This started getting me down as I knew this wasn’t right. I asked and asked the breastfeeding team what am I doing wrong if feeds were taking over an hour etc with him being frustrated everyday on my breast and having to give 3oz bottles also, to be told I was doing great etc. The amount of tears I shed was unbelievable, but I soldiered on! And even with bottles my son wasn’t the best, he would ALWAYS get frustrated, he would cry, tense up suck the bottle, not suck the bottle. I knew deep down something wasn’t right and I did express this and was told I was doing great each time.. The only thing I did do great was protect my milk supply by pumping after every feed.

I decided to google and look for help privately, where I found Tors. And lo and behold within minutes of her visiting my home and being with us, she told me my son wasn’t actually latched!! For 9 weeks we had been like this!

Tors carried out all her checks etc, mouth assessment and so on where he was scoring on the assessment sheet. And due to him having a little bit of restriction in his mouth she referred us to a tongue tie midwife for further assessment. This is when we found out that he was actually tongue tied. Very restricted. We were seen and the tongue tie was cut. And fast forward to now after multiple visits, help and support from tors, my son is fully breastfed. No formula! Words cannot explain or even express how fortunate and lucky I feel to have found her. She is a miracle worker. And I would highly highly recommend her! I felt like a failure of a mother. And with her experience, knowledge, patience & support, she has actually made me feel so proud of myself for finally getting there and beginning to start and enjoy our journey.

Thank you Tors from the bottom of our hearts. You are amazing!!!! Without you we wouldn’t be where we are now 🩵
