Postnatal Consultations & Fees
Whether you are preparing for the arrival of your baby or navigating the early days of feeding your newborn, I offer personalised breastfeeding support tailored to your unique needs.
Initial Postnatal 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. My goal is to help you build confidence and support you in reaching your personal breastfeeding goals.
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
Duration: Approx. 150 minutes
Fee: £150
Additional time or complexity (e.g. twins) may incur a supplementary fee.
