Postnatal support

Routine postnatal checks for mum and baby
Infant concerns

Perinatal Mental Health concerns

Services provided:

  • Routine checks for both mum and baby (1-2 and 6 weeks)

  • Management of postnatal complications and infant concerns

  • Advice on introduction of solids, fussy eating and behavioural challenges

  • Perinatal mental health support and the emotional transition to parenting

A 45 minute initial consultation is preferred for most of these consultations

If offered a 30 minute slot we will do our best to address your key priorities, rebooking or review is likely to be required.

For the 6 week check I encourage and routinely book 60 minutes - 30 minutes for a full check of both mum and baby
