lactation consultation

Lactation consultation is a professional service where an expert helps new mothers with breastfeeding. They assess how breastfeeding is going, offer guidance on proper latch and positioning, and address any issues like pain, low milk supply, or latching problems. The goal is to support the mother and baby to establish a comfortable, effective breastfeeding relationship, ensuring both get the nourishment and bonding experience they need. These consultations can take place in hospitals, clinics, or at home, providing personalized advice to promote successful and enjoyable breastfeeding.
