Postnatal Care Packages | Continuity of Care from Pregnancy Through the Early Weeks
One person, one journey, one trusted midwife.
Why a package?
The early weeks of parenthood are not a series of isolated moments. They are a journey, and the support that makes the biggest difference is the kind that follows you through it.
When you book a package with Lola Lactation, you are not just booking a set of appointments. You are booking continuity of care. Someone who gets to know you before your baby arrives, who is there in those first overwhelming days at home, who notices how you are doing not just how your baby is doing, and who carries your story from one visit to the next without you having to start again from scratch.
As a Registered Midwife, IBCLC lactation consultant, Caesarean Scar Specialist and specialist in Perinatal Mental Health, I bring a level of expertise and joined-up postnatal care that is genuinely rare in private practice. Whether you are preparing for a straightforward birth, navigating a caesarean recovery, or simply want the reassurance of having someone knowledgeable and caring in your corner throughout, there is a package here for you.
Packages are offered in very limited numbers and all package holders receive priority booking.
What is included in every package?
Every package includes a written summary after every appointment so you have something to refer back to when everything feels like a blur. Email support between visits with responses within 48 hours. A follow up phone call at the end of your package. Flexibility to begin antenatally with postnatal visits following after your baby arrives. All home visit packages are available on request.
Packages must be used within 12 weeks of your baby's birth. A booking deposit secures your place, with the balance due at or before your first appointment.
Health insurance
Some lactation consultations, classes and support packages may be eligible for reimbursement through your private health insurer depending on your level of cover. I recommend checking directly with your provider regarding your individual policy and eligibility. Receipts are provided for all appointments.
Not sure which package is right for you?
Every family is different and every birth experience is different. If you are looking at these packages and feeling unsure where to start, please do not let that stop you from reaching out. A short conversation is often all it takes to find the right fit. I am always happy to chat through your individual circumstances and help you choose the level of support that feels right for where you are.
