breastfeeding Support Services I Offer

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

    Session up to 2 hours long

    Home Visit: £110
    Zoom Consultation: £85

    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

    - Typical feeding behaviours of a breastfed infant

    - Common difficulties that may arise and how to address them

    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.
