💖 Help Us Keep Our Sunbury & Shepperton Groups Running
Unfortunately, our grant funding for the Sunbury and Shepperton drop-ins has now come to an end. We are currently relying entirely on community donations to keep these vital local services open.
1-to-1 Breastfeeding Support & Workshops
We understand that every feeding journey is unique, and sometimes group drop-ins don’t fit your schedule or specific needs. That’s why we offer personalised, individual support options—both online and in the comfort of your own home.
💻 Individual Breastfeeding Support on Zoom
Virtual Consultations with a Breastfeeding Counsellor or IBCLC Lactation Consultant
If you can’t make it to our face-to-face drop-ins or need urgent feeding advice, we can arrange a private Zoom appointment at a time that suits you. Get expert support from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
- Cost: “Pay-what-you-can” basis. We believe quality feeding support should be accessible to everyone, regardless of budget. If you are able to, you can make a donation here.
- How to book: Please complete our online enquiry form to learn more or schedule your virtual consultation.
🏡 Private Breastfeeding Home Visits
In-Home Lactation Support Across Surrey
For more complex breastfeeding challenges, a longer, face-to-face consultation in your own home can make all the difference. Our highly experienced team provides compassionate guidance tailored to your specific goals.
- What to expect: A typical home visit lasts 60–90 minutes. We will listen to your concerns, observe a feed, and build a practical plan together. We also include ongoing follow-up support via text or WhatsApp.
- Pricing: £75 for the initial consultation | £55 for subsequent follow-up visits.
- How to book: Please complete our home visit request form to check availability.
