Preparing for breastfeeding before your baby arrives can help you feel informed, confident, and ready for the early days of parenthood. An antenatal lactation consultation is an opportunity to discuss your feeding goals, ask questions, and learn what to expect, helping you start your breastfeeding journey with reassurance and practical knowledge.

During this 60-minute consultation, held in the comfort of your own home, we will cover topics tailored to your individual needs. This may include how breastfeeding works, positioning and attachment, recognising feeding cues, what to expect in the first few days after birth, building milk supply, expressing milk, partner support, and preparing for any specific circumstances or concerns you may have. If you've had previous breastfeeding challenges or have a medical history that may affect feeding, we can also discuss strategies to help you achieve your goals.

Every family is different, so your consultation will be personalised to you, providing evidence-based information and practical advice to help you feel prepared before your baby arrives.

Initial antenatal consultation (60 minutes, at home): £45

If you would like additional support during your pregnancy, follow-up antenatal consultations are available for £30, giving you the opportunity to revisit any questions, discuss your birth plans, or explore any new concerns as your due date approaches.

Whether you're experiencing challenges or simply want reassurance that feeding is going well, an in-home lactation consultation provides the time, support, and guidance you need in the comfort of your own home.

During your 90-minute consultation, I will take the time to understand your feeding journey, listen to your concerns, and assess both you and your baby. Where appropriate, I will observe a breastfeed, assess positioning and attachment, and identify any factors that may be affecting feeding. Together, we'll create a personalised plan that supports your goals and gives you practical, evidence-based strategies to move forward with confidence.

Support is available for a wide range of breastfeeding concerns, including:

• Painful feeding or nipple damage

• Latch and positioning difficulties

• Concerns about milk supply

• Slow weight gain or unsettled feeding

• Blocked ducts or mastitis

• Expressing and returning to work

• Combination feeding

• Breastfeeding after tongue-tie assessment or treatment

• Feeding premature babies, twins, or babies with additional needs

• Ongoing breastfeeding and weaning questions

Every consultation is tailored to your individual circumstances, with compassionate, non-judgemental support focused on helping you meet your feeding goals.

Your consultation also includes two weeks of follow-up support by phone or video call, so you can ask questions, discuss your progress, and receive ongoing guidance as you put your feeding plan into practice.

Initial in-home lactation consultation (90 minutes): £80
Includes two weeks of follow-up phone or video call support.

Follow-up consultation (60 minutes): £40

Follow-up appointments provide an opportunity to review progress, address any new challenges, adapt your feeding plan if needed, and continue supporting you throughout your breastfeeding journey.

Perinatal Breastfeeding care provides personalised guidance throughout your pregnancy and the first two weeks after birth, giving you continuity of care and expert support during one of the most important stages of your breastfeeding journey.

Designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident, this package combines antenatal education with regular postnatal support. You'll be supported by the same lactation consultant throughout, ensuring advice is tailored to you, your baby, and your individual feeding goals.

What's included?

• Two 60-minute antenatal consultations in your home to help you prepare for breastfeeding, discuss your feeding goals, answer your questions, and develop a personalised feeding plan.

• Four 90-minute postnatal in-home lactation consultations during your baby's first two weeks, providing practical, hands-on support with feeding, helping you overcome any challenges, and adapting your feeding plan as your baby grows.

• Two phone or video consultations for additional reassurance, troubleshooting, or guidance between visits.

This package is ideal for first-time parents, families who have experienced breastfeeding difficulties in the past, or anyone who would like consistent, professional support before and after their baby's arrival.

By combining preparation during pregnancy with regular support after birth, many breastfeeding challenges can be identified and addressed early, helping you build confidence and establish a positive feeding relationship with your baby.
