My name is Elise Armoiry, I am the mother of 3 children (including twins) all of them breastfed.
With twins, carrying in a sling was the solution to calm one baby while taking care of the second, to move around easily, to avoid having to take the double stroller...so I became a babywearing consultant in 2014.
Passionate about breastfeeding, I have been a volunteer with a breastfeeding support association since 2016, and I took the IBCLC exam in 2019.
I also write articles around breastfeeding information (see the Publications page)
From 2014 to 2022, I accompanied more than 1000 families in their first steps to discover their babies, listening and providing information on the subject of breastfeeding, sleep, crying, attachment...

What is an IBCLC lactation consultant?
IBCLC certification is recognized as excellence in breastfeeding support. It requires health training, between 500 and 1000 hours of clinical practice, specific training in human lactation, as well as listening and empathy skills. Lactation consultants adhere to a code of ethics, promoting breastfeeding and informing families of all possible options. This certification is revalidated every 5 years, a guarantee of quality and updating of knowledge.
This certification is not recognized by our health system, it is a new profession dating from the 1980s. This explains why consultations are not reimbursed by social security (but by certain mutual insurance companies this is the case )
An IBCLC lactation consultant is a breastfeeding specialist who has passed international certification valid for 5 years (recertification by training points every 5 years).
To obtain this certification, you need to have:
-a background in health and the knowledge needed to keep abreast of scientific developments
-between 500 and 1000 hours of clinical practice, and
-specific training in human lactation,
- good listening skills and empathy.
Lactation consultants are bound by a code of ethics.
They help to promote breastfeeding and inform families of all the options available, so that they can make an informed choice.
This certification is considered to represent excellence in breastfeeding support.
In France, other qualifications exist, which do not include the same level of requirements in terms of training and clinical practice. There are also charities.
I chose this profession out of passion. I know how important breastfeeding can be for a mother and her child. I adapt my suggestions to each situation.
I chose this certification for the scientific rigour it brings: the information I give is evidence-based, and I regularly update myself on the results of new scientific studies.

I am Clémentine, wife, mother, doula and baby sleep consultant.
When I became a mother in 2021 and then 2023, I experienced moments of joy and also moments of doubt and incomprehension, all in a certain solitude.
I really needed to have easy and quick access to reliable, accurate, verified information, and to a community of moms who experience the same thing as me every day!
So I trained in sleep physiology, to understand and support parents as accurately as possible.
And I collaborate with Elise on My Baby Moon so that parents have access to information allowing them to make their own choices, consciously.
Through my support, you will find:
accurate, sourced, verified information so that you can choose what suits you
kindness, gentleness, all without judgment so that you can experience this motherhood in an uninhibited way
a community of moms who are going through the same stages as you
Hope to meet you,
Clementine

I am sending an email to collect information on your medical history-delivery-breastfeeding before our session.
Sessions in the office or in-home: Session of 1 hour15, during which I will proceed to the observation of a feeding (and / or a pumping session). We will establish an action plan together.
Sessions In Visio: 30 min (if just 1 or 2 questions) or 1 hour session, during which I will observe a feeding (and / or a pumping session). We will establish an action plan together.
It should be noted that during my face-to-face sessions I intervene as little as possible in terms of positioning and latch: I explain/show you with a doll/guide during latching, so that you are independent afterwards. I do the same in video teleconsultation.
Sleep and crying: I trained with Pamela Douglas and Possums in Australia to Become a NDC practtioner: we can discuss baby's sleep. This is not a sleep training technique, I give information around normal sleep and suggestions to improve your family's sleep. More info onthis website: https://milkandmoonbabies.com/
Parenting support: I trained with Attachment Parenting International to inform parent around questions about sleep, positive discipline, nurturing touch, more info on this website: https://www.nurturings.org/
Parenting
In the office or in video, with your child or without. I offer you a discussion, support in discovering your role as a parent. The objective is to guide you in creating a relationship based on trust and respect for the needs of the child and yours. The topics covered include sleep, feeding your child, positive discipline, keeping a balance and taking care of your own needs, massages, etc. I am in training with Nurturings-attachment parenting international.
Carrying in a sling
I offer physiological carrying workshops in a sling, or in a baby carrier.
The objective is to inform you about the benefits of this practice, and teach you the essential safety rules. A good babycarrier will allow you to be comfortably installed, and baby too.
A workshop lasts 1 hour
Possibility of doing a pregnant workshop and a workshop after birth with a decreasing price. I can also advise you on the purchase of a wrap
Sleep
-
baby sleep questions,
-
baby cry questions
I trained with Dr. Pamela Douglas in Australia who developed an approach to support families and babies around the themes of sleep, food, and crying, but also mental support for the mother.
This approach to sleep is taken up by Professor Ball in England, who is an anthropologist specializing in the sleep of breastfeeding dyads. It is a respectful approach to the development and biology of the child, without crying. Far from the 5-10-15 type methods and without a magic wand (it will rather take 2 weeks)
