Breastfeeding Specialist Services
Getting help with breastfeeding problems as early as possible after delivery can help prevent many issues. Parents are more likely to stop breastfeeding early if they experience problems with minimal support.
The service I provide as a breastfeeding specialist midwife, gives you assistance and support for a range of breastfeeding problems including but not limited to:
-
Sore nipples/Painful latching
-
Engorgement and/or mastitis
-
Low milk supply
-
Breastmilk oversupply
-
Breastfeeding multiples (twins etc.)
-
Tongue tie diagnosis and referral​​​​​​
Visits usually last approximately 90 mins, or longer if needed and can be individually requested or part of the postnatal care- Solar, Heart or Crown Package.
Initial Breastfeeding home-visits fees-£200
Follow up appointments-£180
Tongue tie referral for frenulotomy-£20
Fees to be paid in full at or before appointment commence:

Childbirth Preparation Classes
​
Childbirth preparation classes, are generally offered from 30-35 weeks gestation. As your midwife and childbirth educator, my aim is to empower you with the knowledge you need to make good choices to have a better birth. These classes are often chosen by a variety of couples , those having conventional NHS care , and also those receiving Independent midwife care.
​
Format and fees for Childbirth Preparation Classes:
​
-
Sessions run as a course of three for £180
-
Each one is 2 hours in length, with topics covering labour, birth & coping strategies, alternative modes of delivery, after birth care and feeding, Early postnatal days and caring for your new baby.
-
Each session is £60
-
In the final class the parents test their knowledge in a quiz !!
-
Sessions are relaxed and informal but structured around the topics listed in a workbook which you will be given to keep.
-
An intense 3 hour single session is also available, where couples choose from the list of topics you would like to cover, but this is most recommended for clients who have had a baby before and need a quick refresher. Cost £120
-
Sessions are individually taught/one-on-one in the comfort of your own home, or on-line if preferred. Group sessions can be arranged once there are sufficient numbers of participants.
​
​
Fees to be paid in full at, or before appointment or class commences.
