Breastfeeding is a natural and wonderful experience, but sometimes it can take some help and support to establish breastfeeding for a new mom.
I will visit you in your own home, or in a clinic setting if you would prefer, and help you with any breastfeeding issues, such as:
- Basic breastfeeding education, including sleep patterns
- Latching difficulties
- Milk supply issues, failure to gain weight
- Management of sore nipples
- Tongue-tie
- Advice and education re expressing and storage of milk, and use of breast pumps
I also offer antenatal breastfeeding classes.
For more information or to arrange a home visit, please get in touch.
A breastfeeding consultation usually takes 60-90 minutes. Follow up telephone support is offered as part of the home visit.
Some health insurance policies will reimburse towards Lactation Consultant Services.
