I offer limited private one-to-one consultations in the comfort of your home. During this visit I am completely flexible, how we work will greatly depend on you and your baby’s needs. A home visit will offer you tailored, unhurried individual support that is difficult to provide in a group setting. It also means we can practice feeding positions on your own comfortable bed or sofa and take a look at any specialist equipment you may have, such as pillows or pumps. My visits always run on ‘baby time’ and sometimes run a little over or under the scheduled 90 minutes, according to your needs.
After a consultation, I follow up with a detailed email describing everything we have done and making suggestions that I think will be helpful. If your little one needs a referral to another Health care proffessional I can provide any information needed to support this. I am delighted that that families I work with check in with me at various milestones, developmental leaps and with future babies.
