Welcome to Motherhood Matters
Founded by Felicity Hughes, Endorsed Midwife and 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 and as an endorsed midwife, Felicity can provide Medicare-rebatable care during pregnancy and for families with babies under 8 weeks of age, making comprehensive IBCLC and midwifery care more accessible.
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 and the team work 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, Western Suburbs 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.
The Motherhood Matters Team knows the unique needs of new and not so new babies and specialises in complex and unusual feeding challenges. We believe that while things may look good, it’s more important to ask ‘how does it feel?’ and take the 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, we offer you clinic, virtual and phone appointments so you can access support in a way that feels right for you.
Medicare rebates available for eligible families and Bulk Billed phone consults are also available
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.”
