Specialist Support with Breastfeeding and Early Parenthood

Our face-to-face specialist support is delivered within our groups, with individual attention from a practitioner for around 40 minutes per family. If you wish to have more privacy we can often move you a little away from the group, or to a quieter corner. Our Zoom sessions provide complete privacy.

​

Your practitioner will spend up to 40 minutes with you and your baby, and you can attend on your own or with your partner or supporter. You are welcome to bring older children/ siblings along with you too.

 

We book two families into each 80 minute practitioner slot so there is some flexibility to see you when you and your baby are ready - babies do not always run to schedule! You can relax, talk to other local parents, and enjoy a hot drink and one of our famous brownies if you need to wait.

 

Our Specialist Practitioners are trained to listen carefully to your concerns and provide support and information to help you find a way forward. If you are having problems with feeding, it is usually helpful to feed your baby during the appointment. If your baby needs an assessment for tongue tie, we can do that too. We have extensive knowledge of various support services in the area and will let you know if there are additional services that might be helpful for you. 

You are welcome to return for support as often as you need. Many of our families also come regularly to the group for somewhere welcoming to feed, a reason to get out the house, a chat with our Peer Supporters, and a hot drink made by someone else!
