What is a lactation consultant and how can they help me?
A lactation consultant is a trained professional who provides expert guidance on breastfeeding techniques, addresses challenges, and supports mothers in achieving their feeding goals with personalized care.
How soon after birth should I start breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding is ideally initiated within the first hour after birth to encourage bonding and stimulate milk production, but support is available at any stage to help you and your baby establish feeding routines.
What if I experience pain or difficulty while breastfeeding?
Pain or challenges during breastfeeding are common and often manageable. A lactation consultant can assess latch, positioning, and other factors to provide solutions that improve comfort and effectiveness.
Can I continue breastfeeding if I return to work?
Yes, many mothers successfully combine breastfeeding with work. Consultants can offer strategies for milk expression, storage, and maintaining supply to support your schedule.
