"Do I need a lactation consultant?"
Whilst breastfeeding is the most natural way on earth for babies to be nourished,
it does not always work easily. It is a team work that requires information, new skills and sometimes
a few adjustments, as any other learning process.
There’s a lot of advice out there, and it’s not always consistent,
making it difficult to know what’s evidence-based or truly right for your and your baby.
Besides, some families may face more complex challenges and feel more supported
with specialised, personalised care.
An IBCLC holds the premier global credential in lactation and breastfeeding
and can help with both basic and complex situations.
As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I can facilitate your breastfeeding journey by helping you to:
- Gain confidence and have your experience validated
- Improve positioning and latching for comfortable and effective feedings
- Understand feeding patterns and identify oral restrictions (e.g. tongue-tie)
- Ensure adequate milk transfer and healthy weight gain
- Learn how to effectively use a breast pump and safely handle expressed milk
- Breastfeed twins/triplets and/or a premature baby
- Cope with colic, reflux or suspected allergies
- Manage breast health concerns and milk supply issues (low or oversupply)
- Breastfeed after breast reduction or augmentation surgery
- Restart breastfeeding (relactation)
- Combine breastfeeding with bottle feeding
- Balance breast milk and solid foods
- Prepare for a smooth return to work
- Wean gently or navigate urgent weaning, if needed
- Heal from breastfeeding-related grief
