About this service

A one-to-one session with a lactation-trained nurse, at home or by video. We watch a real feed, correct the latch, and work through supply, engorgement, mastitis pain or returning to work. You leave with a plan for your situation rather than general advice.

What's included

  • Observation of a full feed and latch correction
  • Supply assessment and a plan to build or regulate it
  • Pain, engorgement and mastitis management
  • Expressing, storage and return-to-work planning

What you'll need

  • Baby present and due a feed during the session

How to prepare

  1. 1Try to time the session for when your baby would normally feed
  2. 2Have your pump and bottles to hand if you use them

Frequently asked questions

Does video really work for this?

For latch and positioning, yes — we need to see the feed, not touch it. We will say plainly if your situation needs someone in the room.
