Breastfeeding can be a rewarding experience, but it may also come with challenges. Our certified lactation consultants are here to provide compassionate, expert support to mothers at every stage of their breastfeeding journey. From addressing difficulties with latching, to managing milk supply issues or discomfort, our goal is to make breastfeeding a more comfortable and successful experience. We offer personalized consultations to help mothers navigate the breastfeeding process with confidence, providing evidence-based strategies and emotional support. Whether you're a new mom or transitioning back to work while continuing to breastfeed, our team is here to guide you.
What Does a Lactation Consultant Do?
A lactation consultant can help assess any issues that you may be dealing with in the process of breastfeeding your baby. This could be issues with your baby latching or sucking or even just with the position that your baby is being held in. Your consultant will also gather information about you and your child’s health and how the pregnancy and delivery went. During a lactation consultation, your lactation consultant will just have you breastfeed, and they can start making adjustments from there.
Personalized Lactation Consulting
You can ask any questions you may have during this consultation and voice any and all concerns. During the consultation, your consultant may make adjustments and reposition your baby as needed. Any instructions or information given to you will be written down and you’ll be able to call with any other concerns or issues that you may run into.
A lactation consultant can also give you further tools to help in your breastfeeding journey. This could be referring you to a breastfeeding support group so that you can talk to other mothers who are going through the same experience.
