Meet Sam Cannizzaro

Welcome to Baby Body Soul! I’m Sam Cannizzaro, a passionate advocate for mothers and their babies. As a Registered Nurse specializing in critical care and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I combine my professional expertise with personal experience as a mother.

I understand the challenges of navigating parenthood, which is why I created Baby Body Soul. My approach is centered on providing personalized, evidence-based support that honors the unique bond between you and your child. Whether you need help with breastfeeding or managing feeding challenges, I’m here to guide you on this journey with care and compassion. Let’s embrace this beautiful path of motherhood together!

Trusted Guidance at Your Convenience

Receive expert support for breastfeeding and newborn care, tailored to your needs, whenever you need it.

Why antenatal education is so important?

While childbirth is a monumental event, it’s a relatively short-lived experience given the average length of labour is about 12-14 hours compared to the extended journey of infant feeding. A mother may spend thousands of hours nourishing her baby. Some research finds close to 1800 hours in the first 6 months for exclusively breastfed babies! Given the time invested in feeding your little one, making informed choices about their nutrition is a crucial aspect of early parenthood. Knowledge is power! By equipping mothers with accurate and supportive information, I empower them to make confident decisions about how to feed their infants. This knowledge can help them navigate the overwhelming advice and ensure a positive and fulfilling feeding experience.

How Expert Guidance Can Benefit Breastfeeding and New Mothers

While up to 96% of Australian mothers plan to breastfeed, only about 60% of mothers report continuing any breastfeeding, with only 16–39% maintain exclusive breastfeeding. Challenges like outdated advice, societal pressures, and limited support can make it difficult to achieve breastfeeding goals. My guidance provides personalised strategies to overcome these barriers, nurturing confidence and honouring the unique bond between mother and baby. With a holistic approach rooted in attachment parenting, I focus on creating a supportive path to help you thrive in your breastfeeding journey. Together, we can ensure a nourishing, connected start for both you and your baby.

Do You Really Need an IBCLC?

An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is your expert partner in overcoming breastfeeding challenges. We bring advanced training to troubleshoot feeding issues, such as latching difficulties, milk supply concerns, or tongue ties, tailoring solutions to meet the unique needs of you and your baby. Unlike general advice from online groups, an IBCLC offers evidence-based, personalised care that holistically supports both the mother and baby, nurturing your confidence and fostering a strong bond.

Beyond problem-solving, we guide you in achieving your breastfeeding goals with compassionate, non-judgmental support. Whether you’re looking for answers or reassurance, an IBCLC provides the tools and guidance to make your breastfeeding journey smoother and more fulfilling. Investing in professional help ensures a healthy start for your baby and peace of mind for you.

Sam has been one of my biggest supporters through my breastfeeding journey right from the very beginning. Her knowledge, expertise, tips & tricks is why I believe I have successfully breastfed for one whole year with my first child. Sam always went above and beyond with her support and never left me without a question or concern unsolved. I will forever be grateful for having Sam be apart of my breastfeeding journey

Olivia & Luca

Sam was so crucial in my first few weeks as a first time mum navigating breastfeeding. Her expertise was so helpful but her kindness and obvious care was what made all the difference in giving me the confidence to persist through several challenges breastfeeding brought. I couldnt have asked for a better guide to teach me the ropes and care for both fox and I’s journey together

Jess & Fox

I have followed Sam for some time now and find her content incredibly helpful and empowering. I reached out to her for some personalised help after struggling with feeding strikes with my son. Sam went over and above to provide advice and information, which was all delivered with overwhelming care and compassion - something this stressed and tired mama will be forever grateful for. So thank you Sam, sincerely. I am now 8 months into my second breastfeeding journey and hope to continue for many months to come.

Jacquii & Hayden

Sam was there with support (emotional and logical) when my breastfed little one would not take a bottle. In times like these, us mamas need reassuring and medically sound and updated advice which puts our mind at rest that we are doing the best out there for our LOs. Sam is who you need at that crucial moment in time)
