Lactation & Infant Feeding Support in Geelong
Felicity is an Endorsed Midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) offering inclusive, in-home postpartum and feeding support for families across Geelong and surrounding areas.
Visits are in the comfort of your own home- no need to leave the house or get out of your pyjamas! (Telehealth is available if you prefer).
Together, we’ll work towards your feeding goals, whether that’s troubleshooting challenges, creating a feeding plan, or simply gaining confidence with feeding your baby.
A pregnancy and birth history are taken to help identify and address the underlying causes of common feeding issues.
Visits are eligible for Medicare rebates until baby is 6 weeks and 6 days old. Appointments can also focus on general postnatal care, including wound checks, birth debriefing, newborn care and practical post-partum support.
