We are so delighted to welcome Liz Farrant to The Natal Clinic Team!

Liz is a Registered Midwife and IBCLC with over 20 years of experience, bringing a wealth of clinical knowledge and a warm, nurturing approach that families in the postnatal period truly need.

Having navigated her own early parenting journey, Liz understands how overwhelming those first weeks can feel and that understanding underpins the compassionate, individualised care she brings to every family she works with.

As both an IBCLC and a qualified Holistic Sleep Coach, Liz is in the unique position to be able to support families through two of the most challenging aspects of life with a new baby.

Liz works closely alongside our multidisciplinary team to provide: Expert, evidence-based breastfeeding support - from painful feeding and latch difficulties to slow weight gain and bottle refusal.

Gentle, responsive and attachment focused sleep support - no "cry it out", just calm and practical guidance that respects your baby's development and your family's values.

Warm, personalised care, because every family's journey is different

We feel incredibly fortunate to have her as part of our clinic, and we know our families will feel the same.

Please join us in giving Liz a very warm welcome!

5⭐️, fifty-one reviews, and countless families supported!

We’re incredibly grateful to share that The Natal Clinic continues to be rated 5 stars on Google, with 51 reviews from families across Hampshire.

But what matters most isn’t the number, it’s the words behind them 💛

Each review represents a parent who felt heard. A baby who was carefully assessed. A feeding journey that felt less overwhelming. A family who felt supported rather than rushed.

This is exactly what we set out to create when The Natal Clinic was founded: a calm, doctor-led space where mothers and babies are cared for together, with time, compassion, and expertise 👩‍🍼

We don’t take a single review for granted. Every kind word reflects trust, and we’re deeply thankful for it.

If you’d like to read what families have shared about their experience with us, you can find all our Google reviews online.

And if you’re currently navigating feeding challenges, recovery, or newborn concerns, we’re here when you need us 💛

One of the most common myths in summer:
“Breastfed babies need extra water when it’s hot.”

They don’t. 💛

Breast milk is made up of about 88% water and naturally adjusts to your baby’s needs — even in warm weather. Offering extra water to young babies can actually fill their tiny tummies and reduce milk intake when hydration and nutrition matter most.

The best way to keep a breastfed baby hydrated in the heat?
✨ Feed responsively and offer the breast more often.

Signs your baby is getting enough fluids:
✔️ Regular wet nappies
✔️ Alert and responsive
✔️ Feeding well

For babies under 6 months who are exclusively breastfed, breast milk is both food AND drink. 🥛💧

Save this for the next heatwave and send it to a new parent who’s heard the “give them water” advice. ☀️

❌ Pumping shouldn’t hurt.
❌ Your ni**le shouldn’t become swollen.
❌ “One size fits all” fl**ges rarely fit all.

If expressing feels uncomfortable, inefficient, or frustrating, your fl**ge size could be the reason. 👀

At The Natal Clinic, our IBCLC Polly offers personalised pump and fl**ge fitting support to help make expressing more comfortable, effective, and sustainable for you.

Because every breast, and every ni**le, is unique, finding the right fit can make a huge difference to:
✨ Milk output
✨ Comfort while pumping
✨ Ni**le pain or damage
✨ Emptying the breast effectively
✨ Your overall feeding journey

Whether you’re exclusively pumping, combination feeding, returning to work, or simply wanting expressing to feel easier, we’re here to support you with evidence-based, compassionate care. 💛

📍Book a feeding consultation with Polly for expert pump guidance and personalised fl**ge fitting support.

Did you know? Breastmilk is incredible, and not just for feeding your baby! 🤍

🤱 Many parents are surprised to learn it can also be used for small, everyday concerns thanks to its natural antibacterial and soothing properties.

Here are a few ways it’s often used:
• To soothe sticky or irritated eyes (such as a blocked tear duct)
• To support healing of sore or cracked ni**les
• On mild nappy rash to calm delicate skin
• For baby acne or dry patches
• On minor cuts, scratches or cleaning your baby’s umbilical stump.
• Science donations & research
• Donating to milk banks for NICU babies 💛

While many families find these helpful, it’s always important to trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, isn’t improving, or you’re unsure, do seek medical advice.

At The Natal Clinic, our doctor-led team is here to offer reassurance, thorough assessment, and the right support when you need it most.

Do you want to know one of my biggest professional bug bears? 🙈

It's hearing: “But they can stick their tongue out, so they can’t have a tongue tie.”

Tongue tie assessment is so much more complex than simply looking to see whether a baby can poke their tongue out.

As clinicians, we need to assess:�
• Tongue function�
• Mobility�
• Lift and extension�
• Feeding symptoms�
• Maternal symptoms�
• Compensation patterns�
• Oral anatomy�
• Weight gain and overall clinical picture

I see many babies who can protrude their tongue and still have a restrictive tongue tie affecting feeding significantly.

This is why comprehensive assessment matters, and why feeding concerns should never be dismissed based on one simplistic observation alone. 💛
