Lactation consultancy involves the support and guidance provided to breastfeeding mothers to help them successfully nurse their infants. Consultants are trained professionals who address various issues such as latch problems, milk supply concerns, and breastfeeding techniques. They educate mothers about the benefits of breastfeeding, assist with creating a feeding plan, and offer emotional support during the breastfeeding journey. Lactation consultants can work in hospitals, clinics, or private practice, and their goal is to promote healthy breastfeeding practices, ensuring that mothers and babies have a positive experience.
