Lactation
Breastfeeding is a beautiful bonding experience providing optimal nourishment for your baby while fostering a deep connection between mother and child.
At 13 Moons Medical, we recognise the importance of breastfeeding and the challenges that can arise.
Being mothers who breastfed, we recognise the feeling of overwhelm and confusion that can happen during breastfeeding when it is not going to plan. That’s why we offer comprehensive breastfeeding support from our experienced lactation consultants.
Dr Danielle Arabena, an IBCLC lactation consultant and general practitioner with specialist training in breastfeeding medicine, understands every breastfeeding journey is unique and that many women encounter difficulties and concerns requiring guidance and support.
She is passionate about supporting mothers and babies to navigate these challenges, empowering them to build confidence and nurture their intuition as parents.

Whether you’re struggling with low milk production, difficulties with latching, sleepless babies, low weight gain, or painful breastfeeding, Dr Danielle Arabena and her team are here to help. She provides personalised, evidence-based care that considers your circumstances and breastfeeding goals.
