BREASTFEEDING

CONSULTANT  

Lactation Counselling provides clear and accurate breastfeeding information for the mothers and “soon-to-be” new mothers.

We cover breastfeeding expectations, strategies for success and how to avoid complications thereby.

Topics include breastfeeding techniques, various nursing positions (holding the baby) and comfort holds of the baby, maternal diet considerations, nipple care, leaking, tips for partner feedings, and the advantages of human milk over supplementation.

Help women experiencing breastfeeding problems, such as latching difficulties, painful nursing, and low milk production. We also help babies who aren’t gaining enough weight. Attend a breastfeeding class to learn about the benefits of breastfeeding for yourself and your baby.
