During a 1.5 hour home visit I will help you to prepare for successful breastfeeding and early parenting.
The key ingredients to successful breastfeeding are, knowledge of optimal early breastfeeding and what to expect, and how and when to access extra support if needed.
Advice is customised to your individual situation. If you have medical issues, or are anticipating a premature or multiple birth, we can make an individual plan, such as expressing for a baby in SCN or achieving optimal milk supply where medical/hormonal issues are present.
Understanding normal infant behaviour and how best to respond to it, is the the best foundation for parenting your baby, and helping them to settle gently into the world. With so many mixed messages out there, having this knowledge prior to the birth is a great gift for you and your precious new baby.
I will spend up to 1.5 hours at your home to ensure we have an unhurried time to address all your concerns, and to make a plan that is the right individual fit for you and your baby.
During the visit I will review the history, discuss what challenges you are experiencing, and what your goals are moving forward. I will observe a feed and your baby's behaviour during this time. I will assist to make any positional changes that could improve the quality of feeding.
I can also address and provide treatment/referral options for many other issues including:
In the early months of life, babies need frequent connection with their mother. I want to give every mum permission to follow their own natural instincts for nurturing their baby.
Every mother-baby unit has their own unique ways of interacting. I am passionate about working with you to help you find and implement settling techniques that best work for you and your baby.
After a home visit I will maintain contact to ensure any further questions or concerns are addressed.
I am also in the fortunate position of running 2 local baby clinics. These clinic allows me to maintain a supporting relationship with you and your baby, where we can address concerns as they arise and I have the joy of watching your baby grow and thrive.
