Breastfeeding Consultations
Breastfeeding can be difficult and asking for help can feel daunting. Lactation consultants can offer peace of mind during a potentially stressful time by answering questions, giving advice, and helping to troubleshoot breastfeeding problems.
A lactation consultant can address issues such as:
- Poor milk supply
- Breast pain and sore nipples
- Trouble latching
- Finding a comfortable nursing position
- Refusal to feed
- Poor infant weight gain
- Falling asleep at the breast
- Problems pumping breastmilk
- Engorgement
