Feeding Assessment & Support
Fee
£160.00
The best place to start if you’re feeling overwhelmed, in pain, or just need answers.
Feeding your baby shouldn’t be a struggle, but when it is, it can feel incredibly lonely. This appointment is designed to give us the time we need to really look at what’s going on, listen to your concerns, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Duration
60-90 minutes
What we’ll do together
- Listen to your story: We’ll talk through your birth and medical history to see the full picture.
- Watch a feed: I’ll observe a full breast or bottle feed in a relaxed way to see how your baby is latching and drinking.
- Oral health check: A gentle, thorough look at your baby’s mouth and tongue function to check for any restrictions.
- Practical tweaks: We can try different positions, check your pump fit, or use “weighted feeds” to see exactly how much milk your baby is getting.
- A plan that works: We’ll create a simple, realistic feeding plan together so you know exactly what to do next.
- You’ll leave with: Practical tips you can use straight away, a written plan to refer back to, and plenty of helpful resources.
Please note – if a restrictive tongue tie is identified at this appointment, then we can discuss a frenulotomy and when the best time would be to perform it if you wish to proceed.
