Midwifery antenatal and postnatal consultations
During pregnancy and in the first few weeks after your baby is born you may feel the need for extra support and reassurance. From tailored packages which ensure continuity of care, to one-off consultation aimed to answer all your questions and empower you through a positive pregnancy and parenthood experience
Only for antenatal or postnatal (up to 6 weeks after the birth of your baby/ies) support, not for standalone lactation consultations
Tongue-tie assessment and release consultations
Sometimes babies may find it difficult to breast/chest or bottle feed. Often adjustments to latch and positioning can help resolve the issue, but in certain cases you and your babies would still struggle. This can be caused by a tongue-tie, which is the restriction of the tongue movements, due to a short and tight lingual frenulum (the “string” some of us have under their tongue)
Your Midwife will support you in assessing feeding, tongue mobility, oral function, and if necessary treat your baby’s tongue-tie with a quick surgical procedure
Your baby will be treated if:
they are aged 7 days to 6 months (extenuating circumstances can be considered for younger/older babies)
the tongue-tie is affecting feeding
they have received vitamin K injection at birth or at least 2 doses of oral Vitamin K
there are no underlying medical conditions, and no history/family history of bleeding disorders
they are fit and well during the consultation
they have no oral abnormalities that could obstruct direct vision of the lingual frenulum
in case they are born premature, they are in good health and are establishing feeding at home.
Lactation consultations
Breast/chest milk represents the optimal nutrition for your baby and it’s made to meet their needs from the very first day of life. However breast/chest feeding not always has a smooth start, so it becomes important to ensure you are supported and listened to by a highly qualified professional. Your Midwife will be there every step of the way to help you achieve your breast/chest feeding goals and explore all the alternatives, to help you make an informed decision also when it comes to mix feeding or exclusive bottle feeding
YTM® Method for infants
This programme is indicated if your little one is aged 0-2 and they are struggling with feeding, eating solids, chewing, mouth breathing, and if tensions have been identified in their face, mouth (including a tongue-tie, but not limited to it) and body.
Your Midwife will work on cranial nerves and reflexes integration using the YTM® tool, designed by myofunctional therapist Yulli Tamayo-Myerson, which tackles facial and oral tensions with precision and contributes to improve body tension, facial symmetry, mouth breathing, chewing and swallowing issues.
