breastfeeding Support Services I Offer

  • Tailored Pre-natal education via Home Visit or via Zoom

    Home Visit: £65
    Zoom Consultation: £45

    I offer interactive, online teaching sessions via Zoom to provide personalised education on breastfeeding on a one-to-one basis. I allow for a 90 minute meeting so that after my teaching session we can then talk about any specific concerns you may have.

    The session will include:

    - How to get breastfeeding off to the best start after birth

    - Recognising feeding cues / responsive parenting

    - How to position and latch your baby

    - How to assess the quality of a breast feed

    - Typical feeding behaviours of a breastfed infant

    - Common difficulties that may arise and how to address them

    - Q&A session on any specific worries or concerns you have

    As I feel it is very important for the mother to have an informed support system around her whilst establishing breastfeeding, I am happy for any extended family or friends to also be part of the session if they feel the information would enable them to support you better.

    If you have pre-natal education with me and then require any post-natal support, there will be a 10% reduction in the price.

    - Need for frequent supplementation with formula or expressed breast milk

    I believe a two hour visit is requited to fully meet your needs and my service includes:

    - Taking a birth history

    - Discussing the feeding concerns you have

    - Observation of a feed

    - Tailored education and support in relation to your feeding challenges

    If you have been using any feeding aids like bottles or nipple shields I ask that they please be sterilised and ready to use during my visit in case they are needed.

    If you have previously had pre-natal education with me and then require any post-natal support, there will be a 10% reduction in the price.

    If more than 1 home visit is needed, there will be a 10% discount for all subsequent visits.
