​Our postnatal breastfeeding consultation provides a safe space for you to discuss any concerns or difficulties you may be experiencing. Whether your baby seems hungry after feeds, is exhibiting breast refusal, or you're worried about low weight gain, our compassionate team is here to help.

We specialize in addressing a wide range of breastfeeding issues, including concerns around milk supply, infant assessment for oral restrictions and post ankyloglossia (tongue tie) release rehabilitation support, difficulties with positioning and latching, mastitis, nipple pain or trauma. Our goal is to provide you with personalized support tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.

During your consultation, your practitioner will conduct a comprehensive obstetric and feeding history assessment, and if applicable, perform a physical examination of both you and your baby (visual examination only in virtual consultations). We'll observe how your baby feeds, whether it's at the breast or bottle, to better understand and address any challenges you may be facing. Following our assessment, your practitioner will work with you to develop a detailed feeding and treatment plan that aligns with your feeding goals. This plan will be emailed to you for your reference, ensuring clarity and continuity of care. Additionally, we understand that ongoing support is crucial, which is why follow-up phone and email communication for up to 2 weeks is included in our fee. We're here to answer any questions, provide guidance, and offer reassurance as you navigate the joys and challenges of breastfeeding.

The follow up consultation serves as an opportunity to review the progress made since your initial consultation and to address any new concerns or challenges that may have arisen. Whether you're seeking guidance on refining your feeding plan, exploring new options for you and your baby, or simply in need of reassurance, our compassionate team is here to support you every step of the way.

We encourage you to take advantage of this follow-up consultation if your last visit was under 3 months ago. Infants grow and change rapidly, and it's important for us to ensure that your feeding journey continues to align with your goals and needs.

During this consultation, we'll take the time to discuss your experiences since our last meeting and implement any necessary adjustments to your feeding plan. Our focus is on providing evidence-based support that is tailored to your unique circumstances, empowering you to navigate the joys and challenges of breastfeeding with confidence.

As part of our commitment to your ongoing care, follow-up phone and email communication for up to 14 days is included in this fee. We're here to answer any questions, provide guidance, and offer support as you continue on your breastfeeding journey.
