I share Restful Waters philosophy of creating an environment for women and families which supports openness, kindness & mutual respect. Postnatal consultations include: In depth maternal health history (medical, pregnancy & birth history) Discuss your breastfeeding goals Evaluate breastmilk supply Assessment of your baby Oral function assessment Assess attachment & behaviour at the breast Transfer of milk from the breast Creating an individualized breastfeeding plan Education on new-born behaviours, feeding and sleep patterns Initial Consultation: $150, allow 1.5 hours (+ travel fee for home consults). This also includes a follow up phone call to check on progress Follow up Consultation: $100, allow 1 hour Telehealth or Phone Consultation: $100 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fa51fa6c732d25b8bc4554/02425e8f-8592-4b4e-a2fb-20cae7f28ede/Kocken+310122-29.jpg Services - Antenatal Consultations Pregnant women often spend so much time preparing themselves for the anticipated birth, setting up the nursery or buying the right pram. But we often overlook one of the most complex aspects of becoming a mother, which is how to feed your baby! I believe every woman should be well educated and prepared in pregnancy for breastfeeding, and the challenges that may (or may not) arise. Antenatal Consultations are offered to any pregnant woman, but in particular if you: have had previous breast surgery (augmentation, reduction, cyst removal) have gestational diabetes have flat or inverted nipples are pregnant with twins or multiples had previous breastfeeding or supply issues if you have any concerns about your ability to breastfeed Antenatal Consultation: $100, allow 1 hour Can be conducted via telehealth, home consultation, or in clinic at Restful Waters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fa51fa6c732d25b8bc4554/d52d8af3-6c80-4e9f-998c-478fabaad961/Kocken+310122-6.jpg Services - Breastfeeding and Early Parenting Classes I have taught breastfeeding & parenting classes for more than 8 years and I believe they are essential for all expecting parents. Regardless of where you are having your baby (private, public, home birthing) or if this is your first or third baby - these classes are designed to give you the confidence in feeding, nourishing and caring for your newborn baby with evidence based information.
