Lactation support involves helping new mothers successfully breastfeed by providing guidance, education, and practical assistance. It includes understanding how breastfeeding works, addressing common challenges like latching issues or milk supply concerns, and offering emotional encouragement. Support can come from healthcare professionals, lactation consultants, or peer groups, and may involve hands-on techniques, advice on breastfeeding positions, and tips for maintaining milk production. The goal is to ensure both mother and baby have a positive, comfortable breastfeeding experience, promoting their health and bonding during this important time.
