Home visit for feeding support £100

(mileage of 10 miles from CT1 included, extra mileage will be charged at £1/mile, alternatively you’re welcome to come to me) (consultations usually last 60-90 minutes)

What’s involved with a home visit?

-You contact me via message, phone call, email or even Insta!
-We arrange a day and time that works for your family. Often within 48 hours of your initial contact.
-I send a confirmation of the appointment and my intake form so I have a little health history ahead of our time together
-I arrive at your home. You don’t have to go anywhere. It’s absolutely fine (and encouraged) for you to be home in your comfies or PJs!
-The visit itself will be led by what you need: whether that be positioning support, help with a feeding plan, help using a tool like a shield or a supplementer, reassurance and encouragement, or something else.
-I can weigh baby if necessary and plot their growth so we have clear info to work from.
-Home visits usually last around an hour and a half/2hours but sometimes are shorter.
-I can show you different feeding positions around your home to help you be comfy. And we can take photos and little videos of them together to help you remember what we do.
-After the visit we’ll keep in touch via a WhatsApp chat. I’m happy to offer ongoing WhatsApp support for 2 weeks after the visit. And we can extend this if you’d like to too. The WhatsApp chat can be really helpful for sending videos and photos too, hopefully as things improve for your baby and you.
-I’ll also send you an invoice after the visit that can be paid via bank transfer.

If, however, you are a multiple birth family in need if specialist breastfeeding support and are struggling to access a lactation consultant, Breastfeeding Twins and Triplets UK charity is offering face to face support with a local IBCLC on a pay what you can afford basis.

This can be nothing, but please consider fundraising for them in the future, or a donation of whatever you can afford. Please join Breastfeeding Twins and Triplets UK Facebook group as a first step, and they will suggest appropriate support.
