Early Days Breastfeeding Home Visit.
Have you recently arrived home with your new baby and feeling overwhelmed with breastfeeding and getting to grips with also having a newborn? It can feel scary and deeply emotional with the feelings of worry and concern about your baby feeding enough and maintaining/loosing their birth weight. Here is where i come and help you.

The Importance of a visit in the early days.

The Fee
I charge £90 payable up front for a 90 minute home visit in Enfield and Barnet. Please contact me for a visit to a maternity unit.
90 minutes is based on the visits i have made in the past and knowing that 60 minutes is often not enough time for us. We can usually cover most bases within this timeframe. Should you need further support, i will advise you and we can take it from there.
“Claire came to visit when our little girl was 3 days old. My milk had just come in and it all felt incredibly overwhelming, it felt like i was failing. We had days of constant crying and my nipples were blistered and sore. If she hadnt have come that day, I would have definitely not carried on. Her advice, calmness and guidance was so valuable.”
