A few months ago, a lady came to South West Maternity for some online advice. It started with a little about latching her baby, and what she might look for, to make sure her daughter was getting the most out of each feeding session. We also discussed how to teach her baby the difference between night and day.

At 6 weeks we had a small chat about increasing milk supply, and storing any excess safely, for use at a later date.

At 16 weeks, we were very pleased to hear that She had an amazing breastfeeding routine and relationship with her daughter. She asked us if we might possibly be able to give her a little advice, on suitable sleeping routines. We discussed how her daughter was behaving on a day to day basis, with her rough timings etc, then were able to devise a new routine which would suit them both. We were able to outline a plan for her to put the routine into place, and of course, we were on hand at any time for tips and tricks.

We were thrilled to receive this comment in an email 2 weeks later.

" (Our daughter) is sticking to the Tippett timings well, eating well and has done 8pm-6am 4 out of 5 nights now!!!! I'm pumping like mad thing, enough to freeze some, which is ideal!!"

It makes our day when our clients achieve their goals, and we take pride in the fact that our advice really does make a difference to families. We also love it when they coin new phrases for us! 'Tippet timings' has definitely stuck in the South West Maternity Office!
