Postnatal Consultation

Bringing your baby home is a beautiful yet overwhelming experience, and many new mums find themselves wondering, “Am I doing this right?” or “Why is this harder than I expected?” You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

That’s why I offer postnatal consultations. These sessions provide practical support, reassurance, and expert guidance to help you feel confident in your breastfeeding journey. I’ll work with you in the comfort of your home to help you navigate those first crucial months with your baby, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.

If you would prefer a separate 75-minute online-only postnatal initial session, this is also available at £180. Please get in touch if this is the option you would like to explore.
