Lactation Consultants
Lactation consultants are healthcare professionals specialized in supporting mothers and families with breastfeeding. They provide expert guidance on proper latch techniques, addressing common challenges like pain or low milk supply, and help develop feeding plans tailored to individual needs. Their goal is to promote healthy breastfeeding practices, ensuring both mother and baby are comfortable and well-nourished. They may work in hospitals, clinics, or community settings, and often collaborate with healthcare teams to support new parents through the breastfeeding journey.
