This can mean a one-off visit to you or a package to visit every day in the first week. Many couples find this period somewhat overwhelming, and your Independent midwife can help you feel more at ease, helping you get off to a good start and avoid problems later. This is often when feeding problems emerge, and the aim is to provide you with consistent, day-to-day support. Flexible packages can be tailored to your needs with your Independent midwife, as every family’s needs are unique.
