Preparing for your consultation in clinic

For Antenatal consultations: What do you need to bring?

• Yourself! but your support person/partner is encouraged to attend too, if they are available.

• Please bring your antenatal card if you have one, and any blood test/ultrasound reports you have, as needed.

• Any questions you may have (I love a list so if you have one, bring it with you!)

• If this is your first time hearing about us - you can read more about this appointment type here.

For Postnatal/Lactation consultations: What do you need to bring?

• Your baby! (please :) - and your partner/support person is welcome too.

• Your baby's Health Record (Blue Book). I use this to check his/her history and growth as well as document in your records as needed.

• Any tools you’re currently using to help you feed (breast pump, baby bottles, nipple shields, nipple creams, breastfeeding pillow, towels, snacks, water bottle, etc)

• If your baby is currently having any expressed breast milk or formula, bring enough for his/her usual feed

• Spare nappy and change of clothes for your baby (I have a change mat!)

• Anything else you feel you might need

• I know its difficult to predict when your baby might be hungry but if you can avoid giving them a big feed in the 90mins prior to our consultation - this would be great! If they are distressed though - please don’t wait to feed them! We’ll figure it out together.

• If this is your first time hearing about us - you can read more about this appointment type here.

• If you have any questions about your clinic visit, please contact us directly!
