Newborn Lactation Consultation
Home Visits in Enfield, Barnet and Surrounding Areas.
Supporting you with Breastfeeding.
Arriving home soon after birth can feel exciting and scary. The hospital was busy and a midwife may have shown you breastfeeding, but leaving and being at home you might feel nervous, emotional, and unsure what to do. Worrying if your baby is feeding enough is common and if you are experiencing pain when feeding it can feel really difficult.
Having a private breastfeeding session where you have dedicated time together with me, working calmly on good attachment, comfortable positioning and building up your confidence.

“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’’ Katya
The Importance of Support.
If you plan to breastfeed, early support can make all the difference in how your feeding journey begins. When I come to your home, I’ll create a calm, gentle space where you and your baby can learn together. For first-time parents, books and antenatal classes can prepare you with some knowledge, but nothing compares to having a compassionate breastfeeding consultant by your side in those first hours and days, guiding you hands, reassuring, and helping you and your baby settle into this new tender, life-changing relationship.
We can discuss whatever you need to talk through. I will have you feeling more comfortable, more confident and able to feed your baby in the way you want to.
