Home and Clinic Consultations:
Our aim during a consultation is to give you the opportunity to explore and discuss what’s been happening for you and your baby. We can then work together to address practical issues and help you to set realistic expectations of your baby and yourself. We will answer any questions you have throughout our time together. Our goal is to leave you feeling more confident and better able to navigate your way through the jungle of conflicting information, which so many new parents find themselves lost in. We will leave you with a plan and strategies for a way forward, so that you can better achieve your breastfeeding and mothering goals.
Consultations usually last 90 minutes. This allows time to find out what’s been happening for your new family, talk about what you’d like to achieve and work on this together. At the end of the appointment we will agree a feeding plan for moving forward.
Subsequent Consultations, if required, offer an opportunity to review how the feeding plan has been working for you both, and to discuss any further options that you would like to explore or additional questions that you might have. These can be arranged directly with your Lactation Consultant.
£170per 90 minute consultation |
£40per half hour additional time |
Any additional equipment items required will be charged at cost |
Telephone and videocall consultations
We offer 30-minute consultations at £50 which we request in advance. Each further 15 minutes is charged at £25 and this is paid after the call.
For some situations 30 minutes is enough time but for more complex situations – particularly where we need to see your baby feeding – more time may be appropriate. We automatically check at 25 minutes if you wish to continue and can either summarise at that point or agree more time.
Facetime, WhatsApp, Skype, Zoom – we can usually use whatever works best for you.
£50for up to 30 minutes |
£25.00per 15 minutes, or part thereof |
We request that an initial payment of £50 is made |
Antenatal breastfeeding information
The information can be completely tailored to suit your circumstances. So, whether you’re a first time mother, expecting twins, have older children to cope with or need an opportunity to work through a previous experience, then such a session may be helpful.
It also means that we can get to know each other and you can feel confident calling us for support after your baby arrives.

We can offer antenatal information sessions to small groups if requested. |
Tongue Tie information:
In most cases, your IBCLC can help with strategies to improve feeding effectiveness and comfort; and support your milk supply. These are important alongside any treatment for tongue-tie.
NICE Guidance is that skilled breastfeeding management is an integral part of any treatment for tongue-tie https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ipg149/chapter/2-The-procedure
Cancellations – we understand that things can change after you have booked with one of our team. Should you wish to cancel or re-book your consultation we ask that you give us 24 hours’ notice. This can be done either by phone or email directly to your consultant (not the Reception number). If less than 24 hours’ notice is given we reserve the right to charge for the consultation in full.
