1:1 Infant Feeding Support
Families need good quality, qualified and experienced support without limitations and it should be timely so that you get the support as and when you need it.
As a highly trained and experienced infant feeding counsellor with over 21 years of experience, I will take the time to listen and support you with all of your baby’s feeding needs. I also offer practical and emotional support to help ease your transition into parenthood and caring for your baby.
Whether you are a family who are breastfeeding, chest feeding, combi feeding, bottle-feeding or weaning onto solids - my support is tailored to your individual needs. Issues such as with milk feeding, weight gain, allergies, wind, reflux, tongue tie, sleep, induced lactation, relactation, returning to work, weaning onto solids and stopping feeding and all the other challenges life with a little one can throw at you.
In your own home, I will carry out a thorough assessment of your baby's feeding and support you with achieving a comfortable feed. Feeding should not be painful or uncomfortable for you or your baby. If necessary I will sign post you to the relevant trusted options i.e. for tongue tie or for body work.
I can support you with expressing, introducing a bottle, combi or formula feeding and show you how to paced bottle feed or cup feed. If you are returning to work and wondering how feeding your baby fits with this or are wishing to stop breastfeeding I can help you to plan and prepare. If weaning onto solids feels daunting or you are unsure how to get started I am also a qualified Weaning onto Solids Practitioner.
Initial appointments last for around 90 minutes and my charge of £50.00 includes follow up support via phone or text for the following 7 days. If you require a follow up face to face appointment within one month my charge is £35.00 per hour. An additional fee is payable if beyond a 10 mile radius of TS16.
Postnatal Support
I am here to support your family to make your transition into parenthood as smooth as possible. I can provide information about how to care for your baby, offer emotional support, look after your baby whilst you catch up on some sleep or take a shower and can make you something nourishing to eat. Going out with your baby at first can feel a little daunting so I can accompany you on your first trips out to the shops or a local café whilst you get your confidence with been out and about with your baby. Home visits are charged at £30.00 per hour. You can combine skilled feeding support with postnatal support in a 3 hour appointment at £75.00 and additional hours can be booked. A small additional fee is payable if beyond a 10 mile radius of TS16.
