Lactation support
Initial Home visit
£150 (90 mins)
Breastfeeding and/or bottle-feeding support in the comfort of your own home. I will conduct a thorough feeding assessment and work with you to resolve any issues and work towards achieving your feeding goals.
It is normal to need some support when you start breastfeeding. I can help you with all common breastfeeding problems including achieving a good latch, ensuring good transfer of milk, resolving pain when feeding, increasing milk supply and expressing milk.
Follow up visit
£90 (60 mins)
A follow up session to evaluate the personalised feeding plan in place and provide further support if necessary.
Common issues that may require ongoing and more intensive support include a baby who has a tongue tie or recently had a tongue tie division, a baby who is receiving supplements due to weightloss or a baby who has been in the neonatal unit.
Antenatal Session
£75 (60 mins, in person or online)
A session aimed at preparing to breastfeed, guiding you in how get off to the best start and giving you the knowledge, tools and confidence to start your feeding journey.
I will provide education on milk production and establishing a good supply, breastfeeding positions, achieving a good latch, how to know feeding is going well and common problems you may encounter. I will also teach you how to hand express and provide syringes for collecting your colostrum to store.
“Issy was an incredible source of support for me in the early days of my breastfeeding journey with my son. I was battling a blocked duct which was fast becoming mastitis. She listened to my concerns, giving me advice and guiding me to the relevant evidence and pathways.
Her calm and gentle nature gave me the reassurance I needed. As a previously experienced breastfeeder, she encouraged me to lean into my previous knowledge and experience and reminded me to trust my intuition, which I was so grateful for, as it was exactly what I needed in that moment.
Issy’s expertise and encouragement kept my anxieties at bay and through employing all her advice and techniques, she helped prevent me getting mastitis. Her dedication to supporting others in their feeding journeys is evident and I am very grateful for all the support and guidance she offered me.”
