FAQ's

Absolutely not! However you choose to feed your baby, your journey is important to us and we are here to provide support for those breast feeding, bottle feeding with formula or expressed breast milk, those using feeding equipment such as nipple shields- we are experts in ALL things feeding and can provide support for newborns to any age. If you are unsure if we can help-reach out!

Our infant feeding consultation is a supportive 45-minute appointment designed to help you feel confident and reassured. We’ll take time to listen to your concerns, discuss your feeding journey so far, and observe a full feed, whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding or combination feeding.

You’ll receive personalised, evidence-based infant feeding support, including guidance on latch, positioning, milk transfer, feeding patterns, expressing, and any worries around comfort or weight gain. Nothing is rushed, and there’s space for questions, this is about you and your baby.

Yes, absolutely, and you’re not alone. Many parents seek infant feeding support due to painful breastfeeding, shallow latch, nipple damage, clicking sounds, unsettled feeds or feeling unsure if their baby is feeding effectively.

During your consultation, we’ll gently assess what’s happening and offer practical, tailored advice to improve comfort and feeding efficiency, while supporting your feeding goals without pressure or judgement.

You can book an infant feeding consultation from birth onwards. Many families choose support in the early postnatal days, while others book later if feeding becomes uncomfortable, stressful, or just doesn’t feel quite right.

If you’re searching for infant feeding support in Colchester, breastfeeding advice, or feeding reassurance, even one appointment can make a meaningful difference to confidence and comfort.

Our first time visiting Little Peek, and we will definitely be returning for another reassurance scan later on! Such a lovely, calm atmosphere, staff lovely and friendly. Felt very welcomed. Emma was honestly so lovely and amazing, so reassuring during this scan at our 19 weeks of pregnancy, after a few concerns over the weekend that were clarified medically in other ways, but not visually. It was wonderful to see our baby girl again, happy & healthy, full of beans! Thank you so much for explaining everything to us in great detail, we honestly left feeling so happy & relaxed!

The little peek baby ultrasound team were amazing from the warm and friendly receptionist to our wonderful sonographer Emma. Emma was so friendly, reassuring and thorough. She provided me with information I didn’t know prior to the scan and gave me peace of mind. I absolutely could not recommend them more, wonderful experience.

Me and my partner are over the moon that we chose Little Peek for our baby scans. The service right from the front desk set a lovely, welcoming and calm environment which continued in the scan room. Emma was extremely patient and listened to every single worry I had about this pregnancy due to past experiences. I was reassured lots and Emma made sure she communicated through every step she was doing. Our appointments never felt rushed and to have someone so professional yet so connected to her clients needs and worries is an experience I never thought I’d be able to get. I cannot recommend Little Peek enough, especially Emma, as she made both scans feel very special❤️

This is my second visit to Little Peek Baby Ultrasound and again I am beyond happy with the service provided. Everything was explained thoroughly in detail before the scan took place. The lady that greeted us at reception was really kind and welcoming. Emma who performed the scan never disappoints. She makes the scan feel super special just now it should, and explains everything that is going on. I would recommend Little Peek to anyone who is looking for early reassurance scans, gender scans, or simply just to see their baby more often than the 2 scans offered by the NHS. Extremely reasonable prices with a very calm, warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you so much Emma and team, you're all wonderful!
