Early Breastfeeding Consultations
Enfield, Barnet and Surrounding Areas of North London.
“Claire has been a lifesaver! She has been nothing short of amazing in supporting my feeding journey. She was encouraging and calming as she guided me. After our session, I felt a huge sense of relief, and my confidence grew. It has made the world of difference in my daily feeding practice’’
Coming home from the hospital soon after birth can feel both exciting and scary. You’ve had your baby and the hospital was busy. A midwife may have shown you how to breastfeed, but at home together, you may feel nervous, emotional, and unsure what to do next. Learning about breastfeeding and caring for your newborn, while worrying if your baby is feeding enough, is very common and I can help to guide and reassure you.
I will help you;
Get to grips with being home and breastfeeding your baby in a calm focussed space.
Be more comfortable if you have nipple pain.
Enjoy more comfortable and relaxed feeds and feel calmer.
Attach your baby correctly in order for the milk to transfer well.
Learn new positions for breastfeeding based on you and your baby.
Manage your expectations around having a newborn and wake windows etc.
Understand ways to extend babies feeds from snacking to full feeds.
Increase your milk supply if required and settle anxiety you might be feeling post birth.
Feel more condfident with newborn baby care.
By answering any questions you might have.
“Claire visited us and i felt very at ease. Nothing felt rushed and I was listened to before any suggestions were made and my questions answered. I was given new tips and techniques to try along with the reassurance that what i was going through was normal. Claire gave me all the confidence to continue in my breastfeeding journey also knowing i had her support.”
The Importance of support in the very early days after birth.
If it is your intention to breastfeed, Early support is so important to starting your feeding journey in the best way, being able to stay calm and understand what you all need. When i visit your home, we will create a calm space for you and your baby as you learn to breastfeed together. If this is your first baby, you may have done some reading or taken a feeding class antenatally but nothing can help more then having a breastfeeding consultant there with you when you are physically holding your baby.
A session with me will help to reassure you and start you on your journey to a more calm and confident breastfeed with your baby, ultimately leading to more calm and fulfilling experience.
