about our practitioners
midwifery advice
LIBBY CAIN (SHE/HER)
Midwifery, lactation consultant and childbirth educator Registered Nurse
Registered Midwife
Certified Lactation Consultant
An experienced nurse, midwife, lactation consultant and childbirth educator with thirty five years of experience, Libby has many strings to her bow. She is warm and gentle with a calming personality; helping mothers, babies and new families feel at ease navigating this exciting and vulnerable time. As part of her work at Libby & Co, Libby works alongside groups and couples, offering antenatal advice in preparation for parenthood.
‘As a midwife I have provided postnatal care for private obstetricians for the last 20 years as well as working at Auckland hospital. I have looked after thousands of families and helped them adjust to taking a new baby home for the first time, and working through the challenges that sometimes can arise during this precious time. Libby and Co grew out of my passion to try and make this short and intense time be as enjoyable as possible.
I often consult on baby health, settling as well as lactation advice beyond the fourth trimester.’
An old friend of Nature Baby’s since our inception, Libby has always valued the importance of natural fibres and ingredients for babies.
