A one off visit to help you with antenatal colostrum expressing.

If you are planning to breastfeed then learning to express colostrum before your baby arrives can be a real benefit.

We can visit you at home at around 36 weeks to talk you through the process, the benefits, how to use expressed colostrum etc. Then we take you step by step through the process and ensure that you know what to do to express your own colostrum ready for your baby.

£180 per visit (usually 2 hours)

Lactation consultant visit: at any stage of your breastfeeding journey or when more specialised support is wanted or needed.
