FAQ
Q: Do I need to book to come to the clinics?
A: Yes please. The sessions do have a maximum capacity to ensure everyone gets the support they need in the time we have. Please message me on 07732090102 to book in, and I’ll send my intake form and a payment link.
Q: Do I have to be there at 10?
A: I understand getting to appointments with a baby can be challenging, so I prefer to keep timings fluid to help you be able to stay calm. It also gives us time if baby doesn’t want to feed straightaway.
The groups are very informal, please try and come between 10-11am to allow time for effective support. I try and see families in the order they arrive in. My hope is you’ll meet other families to chat to during the session; a helpful and reassuring opportunity to share experiences.
If you’re running late on the day and expect to arrive after 11, please let me know, I’ll always do my best to wait for you!
Q: Can I bring my partner/mum/neighbour/friend/older child?
A: Yes, absolutely. Everyone is welcome. I just ask you cover the cost of any additional refreshments.
Q: Do the clinics run during the school holidays?
A: The clinics are term time only. Please get in touch if you’d like confirmation of dates. 1:1 support continues to be available in the holidays.
Q: What’s the difference between coming to a clinic, and booking a 1:1?
A: The clinics are useful for general feeding advice and info, but they do get busy, and while I do my best to help everyone that comes I can’t offer the same service I can during a 1:1 consult. If you have a more complex feeding situation, or would prefer to have more time to discuss your particular situation, then please consider booking a 1:1 instead.
Q: Is there parking?
A: Yes, both venues have parking. The Play Cafe has marked bays in the carpark you can use, or there is free parking on very close streets. The Old Gate Inn has a huge car park, just remember to put you car reg into the console on the bar when you arrive.
Q: What should I bring?
A: Most importantly, your baby and you! Your baby’s red book can also be helpful to see their growth. If you’re looking for help with specific feeding equipment (pumps, bottles, cups etc) please bring these too. And if we’re discussing introducing a cup/bottle please bring some milk too (whether that’s EBM or formula)
