A newborn baby’s skin is very fragile and delicate, as it can take up to a year to form the protective acid mantle of healthy adult skin.

Testimonials
We had the absolute pleasure of having Libby’s support during the first few weeks of our first baby coming home. Libby made the introduction to becoming parents so much easier, from the first time she walked in we both felt a sense of relief and like we knew a little bit more about what to do! Libby was particularly helpful teaching me some great breastfeeding techniques and answering our many questions, both when she visited and over the phone when we didn’t know what to do. We can’t recommend Libby highly enough and are looking forward to her being involved with our little family when (hopefully) the second time round comes around.

Libby provided fantastic support to me and my baby girl during our first few weeks at home. Like most first time mums, I arrived home with my precious bundle feeling a little apprehensive, to say the least. But Libby was supportive, reassuring, and had an answer for every single one of my gazillion questions. With Libby’s help you can be sure you are doing the best thing for your babe.
Harriet
Libby has a wealth of knowledge on pregnancy, birth and babies. With Libby's help during the antenatal period of my first pregnancy I felt empowered to take on the role of motherhood. Then we had twins and Libby was instrumental in helping establish feeding and with settling in our tiny babies at home. I cannot recommend Libby highly enough!

Mum to LucieLibby was an incredible support in the first few weeks with our second daughter Stella. I looked forward to her visits during the most vulnerable time with a precious newborn home from hospital and I was so grateful for her advice and care when times were tough with feeding and expressing. I would absolutely recommend her as a midwife and consultant.
