Lactation Support Includes…
Personalized Consultations
Personalized consultations are tailored to your unique needs and concerns. In these sessions, a lactation consultant offers one-on-one guidance, addressing specific breastfeeding challenges such as latch issues, milk supply concerns, or feeding difficulties. These consultations provide a supportive environment where you can openly discuss your experiences and receive individualized strategies to overcome breastfeeding hurdles effectively.
Education & Resources
Support packages include access to comprehensive educational materials and resources. These materials cover a wide range of topics such as breastfeeding techniques, proper latch and positioning, troubleshooting common breastfeeding problems, and advice on maintaining a healthy breastfeeding journey. These resources are invaluable references, empowering you with knowledge and confidence!
Follow-Up Guidance
One of the key perks of a support package is ongoing follow-up support. Beyond the initial consultation, lactation consultants often offer follow-up sessions to track progress, address new concerns, and fine-tune strategies. This continuous guidance ensures that you receive sustained support and encouragement, allowing for adjustments and personalized recommendations as your breastfeeding journey evolves.

When to see a lactation consultant…
Nipple pain
Just because pain is common when you’re learning to breastfeed, doesn’t mean it’s normal! If your nipples are cracked, bleeding, or damaged, or if you’re beginning to dread feeding, you need a breastfeeding specialist.
Latch issues
Sometimes your baby won’t nurse well, even if you’re doing everything right. A professional can help you make a few adjustments to improve feeding for everyone.
Supply concerns
If you’ve got concerns about your supply, I can help you figure out what might be happening, and provide you with tips or strategies to increase your milk supply.
Blocked ducts
Blocked ducts are common throughout a breastfeeding journey. Let me help you resolve them and teach you how to avoid letting them develop into mastitis.
Pumping plans
Which pump do you need? How and when do you pump, and for how long? How do you know if you’ve got the right size flanges? I can walk you through Pumping 101!
difficult delivery
Sometimes, a difficult birth or a caesarean can have an impact on your breastfeeding relationship. I can help you overcome issues like nursing after surgery, delayed milk production, a preterm baby, or a baby in the NICU.
