Hello, I’m Pinky McKay.
Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here, whether you’re a new parent or a professional walking alongside families on their journey,
If you’re a mother longing to trust your heart, your baby, and the unique bond you share — I’m here for you.
If you’re a professional guiding and supporting mothers to nurture gently and confidently — let’s walk this path together.
With over 40 years’ experience supporting women as they navigate the beautiful (and sometimes overwhelming) experience of mothering through breastfeeding, I believe deeply in the power of a mother’s instincts and the magic of responding to her baby with love and trust.
My hope? To see every mother with a baby in her arms — and a smile on her face.
As an author, speaker and Lactation Consultant with over 40 years’ experience supporting families, I’ve dedicated my life to helping mothers navigate the beautiful — and sometimes challenging — journey of breastfeeding and early parenting. I’m deeply passionate about empowering women to trust their instincts and respond confidently to their babies.
I’m a TEDx and international keynote speaker, presenting across Australia, the US and New Zealand, and the proud author of four best-selling books published by Penguin Random House, including Parenting by Heart, Sleeping Like a Baby and Toddler Tactics. I also host webinars and podcasts supporting parents and professionals worldwide.

Your Book Was The Wake Up I Needed And I'm Sad That I've Wasted The Last 4.5 Months Trying To Fit My Baby Into A Mould Instead Of Embracing Who She Is. Thank You, From The Bottom Of My Heart.
