Welcome to Motherhood Matters
Founded by Felicity Hughes, Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). At Motherhood Matters, we provide evidence-based, holistic and family focused support to families across Sydney.
We cover all of your feeding, infant development, sleep and settling needs with a special focus on supporting your baby to achieve their optimal function. We want to build strong foundations so your baby and family thrive through 1:1 consults, classes and workshops for parents and health professionals.
Professional Matters
Felicity works with families all across Sydney out of the Motherhood Matters Clinic located on the North Shore. Home visiting options apply to areas covering the North Shore, Northern Beaches, Inner West, Ryde and Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.
Felicity provides support virtually to families outside of the Sydney area and has worked with families as far afield as Asia, USA and Sweden.
Felicity knows the unique needs of new and not so new babies and specialises in situations that leave others scratching their heads. She believes that while things may look good, it’s more important to ask ‘how does it feel?’ and takes time to look “upstream” to find real solutions to a wide range of issues.
We believe that while the best place to support new and growing families is in your own home, some issues are time sensitive. Therefore, it’s important to offer you and your family options which make you feel safe and supported so clinic, virtual and phone appointments are available.
Felicity & the Motherhood Matters Team are fully vaccinated.
The Motherhood Matters Clinic is located in Middle Cove, on Sydney’s North Shore.

I was in a terrible place, in so much pain each and every feed. I really felt like it was never going to get better. Now I am enjoying my baby and feeds are so much easier.
