Follow Up Postnatal Consultation
A follow up visit involves a discussion about how things are going or if a new problem has presented, we can re-assess your situation and make a new plan.
Follow up consultations provide ongoing support that makes a difference.
All education is evidenced-based and being well informed is to every woman's benefit, enabling them to reach their best breastfeeding outcome.
All consultations are done in the privacy of your own home face to face, where you can relax and ask lots of questions.
A full medical, pregnancy and breastfeeding history will be taken in order to determine how this may affect your breastfeeding outcome. This will equip Faye to best support you and your baby.
