Initial Postnatal Breastfeeding Support in Edinburgh
The early weeks after birth can be challenging. During a postnatal consultation, I take time to understand your concerns, observe a full feed where appropriate, and help identify the causes of any difficulties. Together we develop a practical feeding plan tailored to you and your baby.

- Sore or painful nipples
- Concerns about milk supply
- Weight gain concerns

Additional time or complexity (e.g. twins) may incur a supplementary fee.

Follow-Up Breastfeeding Support in Edinburgh
Follow-up consultations provide continued support as your baby’s feeding develops. These sessions allow us to review progress, address new challenges, refine feeding plans, and build confidence as circumstances change.

What to Expect During a Consultation
Consultations take place in the comfort of your own home, allowing feeding to be assessed in a familiar environment. I take time to understand your concerns, gather a feeding history, observe feeding where appropriate, and provide practical, evidence-based guidance. Following the consultation, you will receive a written summary and recommendations tailored to your circumstances.
