Breastfeeding Support
Breastfeeding support is deeply personal, and often needed during times of vulnerability such as while you’re still adjusting to life with a newborn. Whether we meet in person or online, a consultation gives us plenty of time to talk about everything which has led to you seeking support, an observation of a full feed, and unhurried, non-judgemental information to help you reach your own unique breastfeeding goals.

Video Consults
I know how tricky it can be navigating parenthood and fitting in appointments. You will receive care to the same standard as you would if I was in your home, with plenty of time to discuss your concerns and create a plan of support.
Please note: I am not able to undertake oral assessments via zoom, however, I will support you by taking you through the assessment step by step.
1hr consultation plus 2 weeks email follow up
Fee: £65

Mini Video Consults
Sometimes we just need a quick chat and a little bit of reassurance. Mini video consultations offer an affordable way to ask those niggling questions and build your confidence.
For example:
“Is my baby latching well?”
“How can I pump more milk?”
“Is my baby feeding too often?”
“How can I get my baby to take a bottle?”
1/2hr consultation with 1 email follow up
Fee: £35

Perinatal Support Package
Preparing to breastfeed can be an amazing, and nerve wracking time. Whether it’s your first child or third, introducing a new member to the family is a big change. This package includes a home visit shortly before your baby is born to talk about any worries you have, and to go over how to get breastfeeding off to a great start.
You will then receive 2 postnatal visits in the 4 weeks after birth, when you feel you need them the most.
Having regular contact and support during those first few weeks can be invaluable. Helping you to settle into life with your little one.
Fee: £210

Antenatal Preparation Session
A session to help prepare you for breastfeeding. We will debrief any previous breastfeeding journeys you have had and how you felt about these, to help you begin with a ‘clean slate’ with your upcoming breastfeeding experience.
We will talk about how breastfeeding works, and how to get off to a great start – exploring how a plentiful milk supply is made, feed frequencies, signs things are going well, or that you may need extra support (and where to get that support!) Positioning and attachment, antenatal expressing if relevant, and any questions or worries you have about breastfeeding your baby.
1hr consultation
Fee: £65
