Breastfeeding Consultation

in Shrewsbury, Shropshire

I am extremely passionate about helping families to achieve their feeding goals, and will work alongside you, supporting and empowering you to make choices that are right for you and your baby in a non judgemental way, ensuring you can access the support you deserve.

Unfortunately there is a huge lack of skilled breastfeeding support in the UK, and breastfeeding rates are poor, with many women struggling to feed and stopping before they want to. 

I have the time to sit with you and really listen and observe how things are going, and offer evidence based information and support, relevant to YOU and YOUR baby. I can visit you in the comfort of your own home, which is invaluable in the early days when leaving the house can be tricky, especially if you are finding it hard to feed.

I offer the services below, as well as breastfeeding preparation group or 1-1 workshops (check out my social media for upto date details).

I am accredited by Birth Baby & You and registered as an Infant Feeding Coach & Breastfeeding Counsellor with FEDANT. I am currently undergoing further specialist training in tongue tie in infants.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU

Postnatal Consultation at Home (or online)

£75 initial appt (around 1.5 hour) home visit

£55 for follow up (1hr)

I will visit you at home, take a history of your birth and breastfeeding experiences so far, as well as any other information about you and your baby relevant to feeding.

I will observe a full feed where possible, and listen to you to understand what areas you need help with.

We will then come up with a plan together to move forwards and aim to meet your feeding goals. I will follow up our appt with a summary of what we have discussed (via email) and will share any relevant resources with you.

I will then check in to see how you are getting on in the following days. I can offer ongoing virtual support if required or follow up visits at home, if and when you feel necessary.

Virtual Support Package

£50 for 2 weeks 

I will be on the end of the phone via WhatsApp (voice note, video message and text), and will always reply within 12 hours, usually a lot less. I will be able to offer support, advice and reassurance as you’re beginning your feeding journey or moving through any transitions. 

Nb. This can only be booked as an add on to any face to face services (antenatal OR postnatal).

Troubleshooting Phone/Video Call

£25 (30 mins)

This is for when feeding is generally going well, but you have a specific concern or question you would like to discuss.

We can have a 30 minute phone call where you can pick my brains about a specific concern and I will follow up with any relevant information or resources that might be helpful for your situation.

I will advise whether this service is appropriate when you get in touch, as in many situations a full feeding assessment is required for me to best support you.
