Package Fee

$1,400 Once off - Private Midwife Continuity Management Fee * **

*Payment Plans available - please ask Jess for details
** Your Private Health Insurance policy may cover all or part of this fee, please inquire with your provider directly. 

This package secures continuity of care with Jess from either:

• 3rd trimester of pregnancy through the first two weeks after birth, until you’re feeling confident and settled. 

• Or if you are already home with your baby and experiencing some challenges - pain, supply problems, confusing advice that’s affecting your confidence - Jess will work with you over several visits to help you get things working well.

Jess works in partnership with you and your family to help you prepare and support you and baby towards instinctive, confident feeding - Jess will guide you to settle into mother and baby led feeding that feels calm and enjoyable.

Engaging a private midwife in your postnatal journey means you and your family receive consistent, expert and personalised care and guidance.  In addition to comprehensive clinical assessments for mother and baby, lactation support visits include as much time as you need towards learning to:

• feed your baby with confidence

• fine tuning and education to achieve a pain-free and deep latch

• understand your baby’s behaviours when ready to feed/when satisfied, settling and what to expect with their developing rhythm over the early weeks after birth. 

We can also explore important life transitions in the postnatal period such as changing relationships, emotional wellbeing and debriefing after your birth.  

Being able to experience this important life phase with a midwife you know and trust, and who is “your person” can make all the difference - information is consistent and personalised to your needs. 

Already home with baby and haven’t gotten off to a great start with feeding?

Inclusions:

• Breastfeeding preparation education and preliminary breastfeeding plan (if commencing care in 3rd trimester of pregnancy)
