"Vicky - you were an absolute star. I was in such state when you arrived, feeling emotional and experiencing discomfort trying to meet my newborn’s feeding needs! You were able to help instantly with simple changes initially and then this developed into more intervention by way of a tongue tie procedure later on. I would not hesitate to recommend Vicky to anyone seeking support in this area." |

Infant Feeding Assessment, support & feeding plan
1.5-2hr home visit + remote follow up
I spend time listening to and understanding your concerns and difficulties with feeding. This allows me to provide information and support to help you and your baby overcome the feeding difficulties you are experiencing.
This may include managing expectations, exploring normal infant feeding behaviours from an anthropological perspective and optimising positioning and attachment. I am experienced in helping to optimise supplementation to complement ongoing breastfeeding and weaning from formula supplements. There are times when I may suggest seeking support from the wider health network such an osteopath, speech and language therapists, or paediatricians. |

Infant Feeding Assessment, support & feeding plan + Frenulotomy (tongue-tie release)
1.5-2hr visit + remote follow up
I am also insured to perform tongue tie release in babies with feeding complications. Frenulotomy is not a stand alone service and may only be considered as part of the bigger picture. This is why frenulotomy is only provided after a wider infant feeding assessment whether the baby is breastfeeding or bottle feeding. It is not considered good practice to undertake frenulotomy as a preventative measure for potential future complications. |
If during the visit a frenulotomy is postponed, deemed clinically unnecessary, or I am unable to proceed due to an oral anomaly, this will be reduced to £225. I can submit a referral to a consultant led service if needed. If I return to do the frenulotomy at a later date you pay the difference on the day of my return visit
"Vicky is knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. She made me feel totally at ease and really improved my confidence in feeding my baby."
