Hayley Bennison is a Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Certified Baby-Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist™, Instructor at Mohawk College, Birth and Postnatal Doula and Co-Chair of the Halton Baby-Friendly Initiative (BFI).

Hayley believes there’s nothing more important than a holistic approach to wellbeing and the need to share with parents in a way that allows them to make the best decisions for their children. She created The Wholechild Company with a desire to support individual feeding and sleep goals in a supportive and understanding environment, where trust in Mother’s instinct and following babies cues is prioritized to support natural development while building lasting connections.

Cait and Hayley discuss the importance of breastfeeding, common breastfeeding complications like tongue ties and how the support that the Wholechild Co. provides can help make those early days, weeks and months feel a little more comfortable and confident feeling for both parent and baby.
