What’s included
Everything in one package.
Eight visits over six weeks
Weekly home visits for the first month, then tapering. Each visit is up to 90 minutes, long enough to actually help.
Feeding support that works
Latch, supply, expressing, combination feeding, weaning. Honest, no-judgement help, whatever you've decided to do.
Newborn checks
Weight, jaundice, cord, reflexes, and a clinical eye on anything that might need a GP referral.
Maternal recovery
Perineal healing, c-section recovery, pelvic floor, bleeding, contraception conversations. The questions you don't ask the GP.
Mental wellbeing checks
Structured screening at every visit. We catch the early signs of postnatal depression and anxiety, and connect you to the right support.
7-day-a-week WhatsApp
Photo of a feed, a question at 3am, a worry that's nagging. Message us, get an answer.
How it works
From the first chat to your final visit.
First visit within 48 hours of getting home
We meet baby, check on you, and unpack what just happened.
Weekly visits for the first month
Adjusting to feeding, sleep, recovery. We visit weekly so nothing slips.
Two further visits over weeks 5 to 6
Last newborn check, mental health screening, and a gentle handover before the GP six-week check.

How is this different from the NHS midwife visits I get?
The NHS typically visits at day 1, day 5 and day 10, then discharges you to the health visitor. We visit eight times over six weeks. Each visit is up to 90 minutes (vs. 20 to 30 minutes), and you have direct WhatsApp access between visits. We also stay with you well past the NHS discharge point.
Can you help with breastfeeding?
Yes. All our midwives are experienced in feeding support. Kleio is also a qualified Lactation Consultant, so for complex feeding situations she can be brought in for an extra session.
What if I'm bottle-feeding or combination feeding?
Same support, no judgement. We help with paced bottle feeding, formula choice, and supply for combination feeding. Whatever you've decided is right for your family.
Do you do mental health checks?
Every visit includes a structured wellbeing check using validated screening (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and GAD-7 when relevant). If we're worried about you, we tell you, and we help you find specialist support.
When can I start? My baby is already 2 weeks old.
You can join us up to 4 weeks postnatally. The earlier you start, the more visits you get. For later starts, we adapt the package.
I had my baby outside London. Can you still help?
Yes, as long as you're back home in London for the visits. We come to your London address.
