Pathway 1: Clinical Consultation & Same-Day Division
£290.00
A comprehensive, tongue tie consultation in the comfort of your London home.
If you suspect your baby may have a tongue-tie, or if feeding has become a source of stress rather than connection, this service provides the clarity and expertise you need. My approach is calm and deeply rooted in supporting the unique feeding bond between you and your baby.
What the Specialist Consultation Includes:
Comprehensive Feeding Review: We begin with a full holistic history, exploring your baby’s feeding symptoms, challenges, relevant medical and birth history, and your specific goals, whether you are breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or a combination of both.
In-Depth Clinical Assessment: A thorough evaluation of your baby’s oral function, appearance, and tongue mobility (available for babies up to 12 months).
Personalised Feeding Support: dedicated time to observe a feed, refine positioning, and address immediate challenges. I will also give you gentle oral exercises and bodywork exercises to help improve your baby's feeding.
Recommendations: A clinical view on whether a division (frenotomy) is necessary, or if alternative feeding strategies would be more beneficial.
Oral Exercises & Education: A demonstration of gentle oral exercises designed to support mobility and function.
Tongue-Tie Division (Frenotomy):
If a tongue-tie is identified and a division is clinically recommended, the procedure can usually be completed during the same appointment.
A Gentle Approach: Performed with precision and care to ensure minimal discomfort for your baby.
Immediate Support: I will stay to guide you through the first feed post-procedure, ensuring you feel confident and your baby is settled.
Aftercare: You will receive a bespoke feeding plan if you need and information supporting oral healing.
Your Continued Care
I believe support shouldn't end when I leave your home. Every consultation includes:
Unlimited Text & Email Support: Direct access to me for guidance and reassurance as you and your baby thrive.
Peace of Mind Guarantee: A complimentary re-assessment after 4 weeks if you have concerns regarding re-attachment.
Total Investment: £290 This all-inclusive fee covers the 2-hour clinical consultation, the tongue-tie division (if required), immediate feeding support, and unlimited virtual follow-up care, plus free re-assessment if required. All mileage costs included. If, after my assessment, a division is not clinically indicated or you choose not to proceed, the total fee is reduced to £200.
