We did not evolve to raise our little ones alone, to have partners around for weeks - if lucky - before they return to work and this tiny helpless being is relying solely on you with you having no-one to rely on. 

So many specialists exist to support new parents from doulas, to health visitors, Midwives to maternity nurses. You can get support with your infant feeding journey - something I'm very passionate about since discovering the impact that a lack of support has on breastfeeding rates in the UK!

You don't have to do any of it alone. 

Here are just some of the things I can help you and your growing family with:

• Practical, hands-on support with all things babycare related e.g. bathing, nappy-changing, feeding

• Evidence-based, up-to-date advice about how to safely care for your baby (including what you do and do not need to to buy…)

• Specialist, Gentle Sleep Coaching support based on realistic developmental expectations of your little ones sleep 

• Infant Feeding support - guiding you in how to safely and confidently meet your feeding goals! 

• An extra pair of hands, listening ear and caring support for you as you new parents in the early days, weeks and months 

• Making excellent cups of tea

• Signposting (and even accompanying you) to other specialists support beyond my expertise 

Help is never a bad investment, and not everyone has the luxury of a village of family and friends around them to provide that.
