Baby Nest

Individualised infant feeding consultations for Breastfeeding and Bottle-feeding babies.  

Help for all Parents and their babies 

Whether you have a newborn baby or are further along on your parenting journey, My Independent Midwife provides exceptional, caring, and qualified infant feeding support. We offer one-to-one services in the comfort of your home or at our private maternity hub in Ellesmere Port. We will tailor a feeding plan to suit your baby and family's requirements.


 Our Service

We offer a comprehensive consultation where we will hear your concerns, carry out an oral assessment of your baby and observe feeding, before tailoring a feeding plan to meet your requirements.

We will then continue to support you over the next seven days via text and phone calls to ensure you get the care you need to enjoy a positive feeding and bonding experience with your baby.

 

 Support with Breastfeeding

 

independent midwife in Liverpool and Manchester 

We are able to support you with the breastfeeding challenges that you and your baby may be experiencing. We believe that each baby and parent are individuals, with their own unique feeding journey.

Breastfeeding is so much more than the physical act of providing milk from a breast to a baby. When a baby is finding it difficult to breastfeed this can effect everything from the parent and baby's physical well-being to their emotional state and bonding.

Breastfeeding challenges can range from frustrating to traumatising and getting the right support at the right time can make all the difference to everyone involved. We know this and our care will reflect this, being centred around you and your unique circumstances.

 We can provide support with various breastfeeding difficulties including: 

  • Improving positioning and attachment of the baby at the breast.
  • Helping a baby who cannot latch onto the breast
  • Transitioning from bottle to breast feeding
  • Breastfeeding a premature baby.
  • Expressing breast milk.
  • Sore/ damaged nipples 
  • Recurrent mastitis 
  • Low milk supply
  • Over milk supply and engorgement
  • Re-lactation
  • Tongue-tie assessment and division
  • Baby weight problems
  • Baby reflux
  • Allergies
  • Excessive wind or colic like symptoms.
 

Every parent and baby will be treated as an individual when receiving feeding support from us and any feeding advice or plans that we provide will always reflect your unique needs and circumstances. We take pride in having a non-judgemental approach towards helping you and your baby to achieve your breastfeeding goals. 

 

 Support with bottle-feeding

 

We know that just like with breastfeeding, some baby's can find bottle-feeding a challenge. Some baby's are able to breastfeed but struggle to bottle-feed, others find both breast and bottle feeding difficult. There is an assumption that if a baby finds it difficult to breastfeed then they can just bottle-feed; problem solved! Whilst this is true for a large majority of babies there are some that struggle to do either, for various reasons.

When a baby is finding feeding difficult it has an impact on the whole family, we are here to support you and your baby, with care being centred around your individual and unique circumstances.  

We can provide support with various bottle-feeding difficulties including: 

  

  • Improving positioning and attachment of the baby at the bottle.
  • Teaching effective paced bottle-feeding.
  • Bottle-feeding a premature baby.
  • Tongue-tie assessment and division
  • Baby weight problems
  • Baby reflux
  • Feeds that last >1 hour
  • Allergies
  • Bottle refusal
  • Excessive wind or colic like symptoms.
  • Re-lactation
 

Every parent and baby will be treated as an individual when receiving feeding support from us and any feeding advice or plans that we provide will always reflect your unique needs and circumstances. We take pride in having a non-judgemental approach towards helping you and your baby to achieve your feeding goals.
