Postnatal Consultation
Those first days and weeks can feel overwhelming, and the right support can bring calm and clarity. This postnatal consultation offers hand on guidance in your home, or virtually, helping with latch and positioning, feeding comfort, milk transfer, nipple pain, engorgement, tongue tie concerns, expressing and more.
I take a holistic look at your feeding journey so far, your birth story, your goals and any challenges you’re facing. Together, we can create a realistic, supportive plan that helps you and your baby feed comfortably and thrive.
