Postnatal Services & Rates
Making the decision to have a baby – it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
Postnatal visit at home
The postnatal home visits are very important in my practice and I love spending this time with mom and baby to see how they are doing. These visits early in the postnatal period are so important for the mother and baby. It is also an opportunity to ensure the establishment of breastfeeding and address any difficulties with attachment and positioning. If I see a mom that needs any further support, such as a lactation consultant, I will refer her to my list of support professionals.
