About Nested & Rooted
Specialist Infant Feeding Support Across London, Surrey, Berkshire & Hampshire
Meet Hannah Bashir - RM, BSc, MRes
I’m a Registered Midwife and Breastfeeding Consultant with over 12 years of experience supporting families across pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. Alongside my work as a midwife in the NHS, I have a Master's in Clinical Research and have worked on many nation-wide women's health studies. I am also a mum of two and have had my fair share of personal feeding challenges!
After working in large NHS teaching hospitals and supporting hundreds of families, I founded Nested & Rooted to focus on the care that’s often overlooked - personalised, evidence-based infant feeding support. I know full well how difficult it can be for midwives to give 1:1 breastfeeding support due to the complexity of the NHS, and this can result in new parents feeling unsupported or confused when they leave the hospital. This is the main reason I opened my private practice, as I would love for every parent to have the support they need to reach their feeding goals. I truly believe that support with breastfeeding during the early days can make all the difference to your feeding journey.
“Every baby and every feeding journey is unique. You deserve support that honours that.”
