Urgent breastfeeding support
Fast breastfeeding support by video call, from the hospital or from home. It doesn't matter whether your baby is a few hours, a few days or already several weeks old: if breastfeeding isn't going the way you expected, you don't have to wait for the next available appointment.
When you cannot wait for the next available appointment
Your baby isn't latching. Feeds hurt. There are cracked nipples. Your baby falls asleep as soon as the feed starts, or latches and unlatches over and over. You're not sure whether they're getting enough milk. Doubts creep in about your milk supply. Feeds are becoming harder and harder, and the whole family feels overwhelmed.
Urgent breastfeeding support exists for exactly this moment: when you need someone to observe what's happening, help you make sense of the situation, and tell you what to do next.
When can urgent breastfeeding support help?
- Your baby isn't latching correctly.
- Intense pain, cracks or wounds on the nipple.
- Your baby falls asleep as soon as the feed begins.
- Your baby latches and unlatches repeatedly.
- You're unsure whether your baby is getting enough milk.
- Doubts about your milk coming in or your milk supply.
- Your breast feels very full, painful or has a hard area.
- Feeds are becoming very difficult and exhausting.
From the hospital or from home
The video call can take place:
- From the hospital room, in the first hours after birth.
- From home, once you've arrived after giving birth.
- During the first days after your baby is born.
- Several weeks later, if a difficulty appears.
- With your partner or the person supporting you.
- While your baby is feeding, whenever possible.
What happens during the video call?
You tell me what is happening
We talk about the birth, your baby's age, and what's worrying you most right now.
We observe a feed whenever possible
I watch the position, the latch and how the feed unfolds, live.
We try practical adjustments in real time
I guide you to adjust the position and help find a more comfortable latch.
You receive clear guidance for the next few hours
You'll know what to do next and which signs to watch for.
We assess whether in-person or medical support is needed
If your situation requires it, I'll point you towards the most appropriate next step.
What is included
- An initial assessment of your situation.
- Observing a feed, whenever possible.

When should you seek medical care?
This consultation does not replace emergency medical care. Contact your hospital, paediatrician or emergency services directly if your baby is struggling to breathe, seems very lethargic or hard to wake, has a fever, cannot feed at all, or shows signs of dehydration.
Please also seek medical attention if you, as the mother, have a fever, significant general malaise, heavy bleeding, or any other symptom that needs medical assessment.
Your questions about urgent support
Can I contact you from the hospital?
Yes, as long as you have an internet connection and a bit of privacy. This service works alongside the care you're already receiving from the maternity team, not instead of it.
Do I need to wait until I return home?
No. One of the main benefits of this service is being able to get support while you're still at the hospital.
What if my baby is already several weeks old?
This service is for any breastfeeding difficulty that needs fast support, whether your baby is a few hours or several weeks old.
How quickly will you reply?
Message me on WhatsApp and I'll confirm the first available slot to arrange the video call as soon as possible.
Does my baby need to feed during the video call?
It helps, since it lets me observe a feed live, but it isn't essential. We can also review positioning and answer your questions without it.
Can my partner be present?
Yes, and it's often genuinely useful — they can help you get into position, hold the phone, and remember the guidance afterwards.
What happens if I need in-person support?
I'll explain the next steps clearly and point you towards the most suitable option for your situation.
Does this replace emergency medical care?
No. If your baby's condition or your own needs medical attention, please contact your hospital, paediatrician or emergency services directly.
