will visit when and where it suits you (home or hospital) for about 2 hours.

We will sit down together and discuss all your concerns -big and small.

If it is breastfeeding difficulties you are having, we will work through these. I will
weigh your baby before and after the feed so we know how much she is getting.

Good management early on can help avoid complicated and distressing problems.

You will learn new methods of caring for your baby’s needs
(sleeping, health and nutrition).

You will be given a folder full of relevant useful information.

I will provide frequent ongoing telephone/email support for 6 weeks,
so that we can follow through on the plan we have devised especially
for you. (On average 6 hours contact including weekends if needed)

The total cost is $250.
If further homevisits are required, these are $100 per revisit.

Claimable from some health funds.

You may wish to have your own private child health consultant to personally
tailor care, support and education to your specific needs.

You may wish to offer a visitation gift voucher to a loved one, friend or colleague
so they can receive extra support in those first 6 weeks of their new baby’s life.

Perhaps your baby is unsettled.

You might require help to establish breastfeeding. Your baby may
have poor attachment to the breast and or an inefficient suck.

Feeling unsure, worried or having difficulty dealing with your new baby.

If your nipples are sore or damaged then you may need help with your
breastfeeding technique. It is not normal to have sore nipples from breastfeeding.
The problem can be rectified. Left unattended, sore nipples can be an unfortunate
and unnecessary cause of early weaning.

Maybe you have concerns or problems with your milk supply- too much or too little.

You may have twins or multiples.

Perhaps your baby was preterm.

You may have unusual breasts or nipples, a history of breast surgery, are physically
disabled, or have mastitis (inflamed, sore breasts) or recurrent blocked ducts.

Weaning or/and introducing solids may be proving to be difficult.

You might live overseas, or in a rural or remote area and want
to have access to a private consultant.

You and your baby will have a unique personalized service to nurture and support
you to being a confident, joyous, relaxed new parent.

You and your baby will be happier and healthier when breastfeeding is well established.

Women provide the best food for babies. Breast milk is naturally produced especially
for your baby. It is fresh, full of goodness literally a living fluid.
