Postnatal Consultations
The early days and weeks after birth can bring both joy and challenges. I offer personalised breastfeeding support tailored to your individual circumstances, helping you overcome feeding difficulties, build confidence, and work towards your breastfeeding goals.
Initial Consultation
This comprehensive session provides dedicated support during the early weeks after birth. I will take the time to listen to your experience, understand your concerns, and take a full medical and feeding history. I’ll observe a full breastfeed — a crucial part of identifying any issues — and, if needed, weigh your baby.
We’ll then work together to uncover the reasons behind any challenges and co-create a clear, evidence-based plan to help you overcome them.
Common concerns I support include:
- Difficulty with latching or attachment
- Sore or damaged nipples
- Painful breasts or suspected mastitis
- A baby who is fussy, unsettled or refusing the breast
- Concerns about weight loss, slow weight gain, or low milk supply
- Supplementation and mixed feeding challenges

Additional time or complexity (for example, twins) may incur a supplementary fee.
