Breastfeeding Consultations via Virtually or in the Comfort of Your Own Home
Lactation Consultant home visits can be a valuable part of the process towards finding your way forward and getting the support and guidance you need to meet your breastfeeding goals. I carry out 1-2-1 home visits in Fulham and around South West London and I’m also delighted to offer consultations via a videoconference platform to breastfeeding mothers outside of my local area or for those who prefer a virtual consultation.
I also offer virtual consults for prenatal, back to work mothers and follow-up consultations.
Meeting with you within the comfort of your own environment gives you the time, space and opportunity to talk openly and honestly and benefit from a relaxed meeting with me.
Removing the stress of travelling with baby outside the home also ensures that any assessment takes place under normal circumstances for you both. Plus, the stress associated with finding the time and energy to travel whilst timing the feeding of your baby to get the most from your visit is eliminated.
As a mother of four, I more than understand the strains you are currently under and the sheer exhaustion you probably feel: Pyjamas and mess are a given!
Consultations are available on weekdays weekends and during holidays.
