Preparing nutritious meals, snacks and drinks to aid postpartum recovery. Think homemade energy balls and granola bars, lactation smoothies and hearty soups and stews. I can also offer a bespoke meal plan tailored to your dietary requirements, ensuring you get the nourishment you need.

Providing emotional support and creating a safe, nurturing space for you as you navigate the many emotions that postpartum life can bring. This could be an in depth birth debrief or listening to how you feel with a non judgmental ear.

As well as looking after baby while you rest or take time for yourself, I provide guidance and reassurance on newborn care. This could be helping you wear a sling or carrier for the first time, give baby their first bath, trim their nails, or recommending remedies for various ailments. I can help answer any questions you have about you and your baby and signpost you to relevant resources when needed.

Infant feeding support and guidance, whether you are breast feeding, bottle feeding or both. This ranges from help with positions, guidance on pumping, or recommending a local lactation consultant to preparing and sterilising bottles and pumping equipment.

I provide overnight support up to three nights per week, to help you get the rest you need. During these sessions I will look after baby (either bottle feeding or bringing baby to you to breastfeed), changing, winding and settling baby to sleep.

Organising baby’s items such as clothes, changing station, nursery etc. I can also help create a bespoke postpartum plan to help you prepare for your fourth trimester before baby’s arrival; from nursery organisation to meal planning.

Providing evidence based information to empower you to make decisions that work for you; helping you to navigate the often conflicting advice that new parents are given and finding your way of doing things. I can also signpost you to local specialists and resources - for example a tongue tie specialist, physio or osteopath.
