Melody De Visscher Büyükkaraca
Breastfeeding Counsellor

Who am I? My name is Melody De Visscher Büyükkaraca, I’m from Belgium and I was a journalist who specialized in healthy and natural living for 10 years. From the moment I started writing about natural birth, I knew that the day I became pregnant, I would want to have a natural birth.

On the 1st of October 2012, I gave birth by... c-section, but as soon as I started breastfeeding, I knew that this would help me get over my disappointment and heal everything. What I didn’t know at that time was that I had just found my new calling... I instantly fell in love with breastfeeding. It made me feel so empowered! I found it so amazing that my baby was growing... growing so quickly while he wasn’t being fed anything else other than my milk. The other amazing thing was the growing attachment I felt for my baby every time I was nursing thanks to oxytocin, also called the ’LOVE HORMONE’, flowing through my body.

BREASTFEEDING turned into a PASSION.

I wanted to know everything about it. As a journalist, I was used to doing research. So I started to read, read, read and then talk, talk, and talk about breastfeeding, I talked so much about it that my husband begged me to talk about something else.

At that point reality kicked in: I was going to become a BREASTFEEDING COUNSELOR.

I decided to train with Childbirth International and became a Breastfeeding Counselor (CBI). 

Since 2013, I have been helping and supporting moms to give them and their baby the best they deserve.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
