Lactation consulting involves professional support for breastfeeding mothers. Certified lactation consultants help new parents with breastfeeding techniques, address challenges such as latching issues, sore nipples, and milk supply concerns, and provide education on breastfeeding basics. They aim to promote successful breastfeeding experiences, which can benefit both the mother and the baby’s health. Additionally, they can assist with pumping and bottle-feeding strategies. Their goal is to empower mothers with knowledge and skills to ensure a positive breastfeeding journey.
