Prenatal Breastfeeding Education & Assessment
| 90 minutes | $300 |
Research consistently shows that prenatal education is one of the most effective ways to prepare families for breastfeeding. Whether you are expecting your first baby or have faced breastfeeding challenges in the past, this consultation is designed to help you start your breastfeeding journey with confidence and realistic expectations.
This consultation includes:
- 90-minute prenatal breastfeeding consultation
- Review of your health and medical history, previous breastfeeding experiences and birth plans
- Identification of any factors that may impact breastfeeding and development of proactive strategies to support your goals
- Education on the latest research into breastfeeding biomechanics and infant feeding behaviours
- Guidance regarding antenatal colostrum expression and hand-expressing
- Strategies to maximise the breastfeeding "golden hours" following birth
- A personalised post-birth breastfeeding plan
This consultation is particularly recommended for women who:
- Have gestational diabetes (GDM)
- Have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Have thyroid disorders
- Have pre-existing diabetes
- Have a pre-pregnancy BMI above 25
- Have had previous breast or nipple surgery, including breast reduction or augmentation
- Have a history of nipple piercing
- Have concerns regarding breast development or breast anatomy
- Experienced low milk supply with a previous baby
- Experienced breastfeeding difficulties with a previous baby
- Have a baby expected to require additional feeding support after birth
- Simply want additional preparation and support to give breastfeeding the best possible start
Having one or more of these factors does not mean you will have breastfeeding difficulties. Rather, it allows us to identify potential challenges early, create an individualised plan, and ensure appropriate support is in place from the very beginning.
I am here to support you in having the best possible breastfeeding experience, with confidence, knowledge and care.
