After Pregnancy (postnatal) - Care of Mum & Baby
_edited.jpg)
Lactation consultations
Online or in person breastfeeding support by Doctor Miranda Bradley, your GP for breastfeeding problems.
Initial 75-90 minute Extended Breastfeeding & Lactation Consultation
A dedicated session for mums and babies to explore and manage any feeding concerns. Whether you’re breastfeeding, mixed feeding, or bottle feeding, we’ll work together to optimise latch, improve milk transfer, and support your feeding goals with practical, compassionate care.
Mum & baby postnatal checkup
Don’t Wait for the 6-Week Check!
For many mums and babies, waiting until the six-week check is simply too long. Early postnatal reviews offer a valuable opportunity to assess both your and your baby’s health, address any feeding concerns, and support your physical and emotional recovery. If you have any worries, don’t wait - early care matters. I often recommend booking a mum & baby review within a few days of hospital discharge.
A note on mental health
Your emotional wellbeing matters just as much as your physical recovery. It’s common to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unlike yourself in the weeks and months after birth, but that doesn’t mean you have to push those feelings aside. Please don’t brush them under the carpet. If something doesn’t feel right, let’s talk about it. Support is available, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
See this website for many mental health and early parenting online resources.
6-week Postnatal check - Mum &/or Baby
For Baby:
A comprehensive health and developmental check, including a full physical examination. We’ll together address any concerns and make sure your baby is thriving.
For Mum:
A thorough review of your recovery from birth, discussion of any physical or emotional health concerns, and personalised contraception advice. This appointment is especially valuable if you haven’t had a postnatal check with a private obstetrician.
Baby feeding & weight gain issues
Comprehensive medical assessment and guidance on a wide range of feeding concerns, including breastfeeding challenges, bottle feeding, pumping and expressing, starting solids, allergy concerns, and more.
Postnatal or Early Parenting Health Concerns
Mum/Parent or Baby
A dedicated consultation to explore and manage any medical concerns affecting you or your baby - whether in the early weeks, first year, or beyond.
Postnatal Contraception Advice
Every woman’s timeline for needing contraception after birth is different. It’s important to know that pregnancy can still occur while breastfeeding—even if your period hasn’t returned. I offer personalised contraception advice tailored to your needs, recovery stage, and future plans.
Infant Health and Preventative Care
Understand how to recognise when your baby may be unwell, what steps to take, and when to seek medical help. We’ll also discuss the routine childhood vaccination schedule, optional additional vaccines, and answer any other questions you may have about keeping your baby healthy. For more details, please see the Vaccine Information section under the Resources tab on this website.
Baby & Child Health (0-5 years)
I have a special interest in infant and early childhood health, offering compassionate, comprehensive care for babies and children up to five years of age.
