feeding support
For when feeding isn’t going to plan.
Whether it’s pain, latch, supply worries, slow weight gain, or a feeding plan that’s become complicated, you want someone who’ll take the time to properly understand what’s happening. I start with a thorough feeding assessment, then we put together a clear, practical plan, with follow-up as often as you need. Care provided from birth to 6 weeks.
No GP referral needed. Book directly, at any time. Medicare rebates apply for babies up to 6 weeks.
what i can help you with
Maybe you’ve been discharged from hospital with a complex feeding plan, or feeding just isn’t going the way you hoped.
If something sits outside of the support I can offer, I’ll refer you to the right person and stay involved.
