Additional Lactation and Feeding Follow-Up Consult Options
Short Lactation and Feeding Follow-Up Consult - Up to 1 hour
Available within 3 weeks of your initial consult for support with ongoing or initial feeding issues.
This shorter follow-up is ideal for reviewing progress, making adjustments to your plan, and achieving even greater improvements after the first consultation.
If support is needed more than 3 weeks after the initial consult, or for issues that are new or not previously addressed, a new Initial Consult (up to 2 hours) will be required. This allows enough time to safely explore your concerns, take a full patient history and provide safe, appropriate, thorough support.
Extended Lactation and Feeding Follow-Up Consult - Up to 2 hours
Ideal for families who have already completed an Initial Sleep & Settling Consult and need additional time for more complex sleep concerns.
This extended session allows for a thorough review of progress, a detailed assessment, adjustments to your personalised sleep plan, and hands-on support as needed.
If you believe your current concerns will take more than an hour to address, please book this extended follow-up to ensure there is enough time to explore your history and provide safe, effective guidance.
