Our feeding consultations offer in-depth, personalised care for you and your baby.
We carry out a full assessment of:

An evaluation of milk transfer and feeding effectiveness
You’ll receive an individualised care plan, tailored to your baby’s needs and your feeding goals – whether that’s breastfeeding, expressing, bottle feeding, or a combination.
We take time to understand what matters most to you and work with you to create a plan that’s practical, evidence-based, and aligned with your values.
