Private consultations with ibclc jan edye

What happens in a 75-90 minute private consultation?

The appointment can take place in your home or other agreed place at a time of your choosing.

A full breastfeeding history will be taken along with what you hope to gain from the consultation.

A breastfeed will be observed and practical guidance given for the mother to achieve as much as possible from the consultation.

If a mother is giving expressed breastmilk she will be supported to bring her baby to her breast if this is her choice. She will be offered guidance and discussion about ways to make expressing her milk easier if appropriate.

Follow-up Care:

• Full, personalised lactation plan notes

• Follow up phone-call two days post consultation

• Option to book a follow-up consultation, and'/ or attend the free-of-charge drop-in session (see below).

What happens at the free of charge drop in breastfeeding support session?

Breastfeeding families and their supporters (partners, grandparent or a friend, for example) are welcomed to the session and offered refreshments.

We see each breastfeeding family in turn; sometimes this happens on a first come, first served basis but often it depends upon which baby is awake! You may be supported by IBCLC Jan, or Breastfeeding Practitioners Claire and Jo.

A verbal breastfeeding history up to the present day will be asked of each mother, and she will be asked to breastfeed her baby to enable her to be supported in the most appropriate way. The environment is warm and comfortable to make this as stress-free as possible.

Everyone is welcome to return to the drop in session and there is no limit on the amount of times one can attend.
