Infant Feeding Coach™
Doula – Colchester – Essex – London
Feeding your newborn – breast, bottle and more!
Feeding your baby
Get in touchBringing a baby into the world is an exciting, joyful, and truly life-changing experience. Alongside the joy however, there may be challenges that feel completely overwhelming. One of the first hurdles many new parents encounter is feeding their baby, whether it’s with breast milk, formula, or a combination of both, and getting support in the early days and weeks of your feeding journey can make a dramatic difference.
Start now
Get in touchIf you’re currently pregnant and planning to breast or chest feed, the very best time to learn about breastfeeding is BEFORE your baby is born, exploring practical ways to set yourself up for success and get your infant feeding journey off to the best start.
If your baby is already here and you are experiencing problems with feeding, or with related issues such as slow weight gain, colic or reflux, I can visit you at home and help you navigate the challenges and joys of your baby’s unique feeding experience. I will give you the time and space you need to talk, work out your feeding goals, ask questions and feel truly heard.
