Supporting you to make informed decisions in pregnancy, birth and infant feeding.

Welcome to My Baby Beginnings, lactation consultations and antenatal classes by Niamh Cassidy, a Cuidiú Antenatal Ireland Antenatal Instructor & International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) based in Dublin, Ireland.

Evidence based

Education & Support

If you are looking for online or in-person antenatal classes or lactation consultations you are in the right place. I provide private and group antenatal, VBAC, multiple birth and breastfeeding classes. Private classes and lactation consultations can be held online or in your own home.

I am an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, FEDANT registered Antenatal Educator and a mother of two boys. I am also a trained Social Care Worker and have been providing women and families with support as a volunteer breastfeeding counsellor with Cuidiú for 8 years.


I specialise in providing tailor made support to women, birthing people and their families and I am passionate about providing evidence-based information and care. When we work together I put you at the centre of your care offering a range of strategies, real solutions and ongoing support. 

"I believe in the power of informed decision making in pregnancy, birth, parenting and infant feeding. This means that I support parents with the information and tools that they need to make confident decisions for themselves and their babies"

IBCLC, FEDANT registered, Member of ALCI
