Lactation Consultation: Supporting Breastfeeding Mothers

What is Lactation Consultation?

Another important aspect of neonatal care is breastfeeding. A lactation consultant helps you understand the different aspects of breastfeeding. This involves providing support and guidance to breastfeeding mothers to help them overcome challenges and establish successful breastfeeding practices. Learn important tips, like how skin-to-skin contact facilitates breastfeeding, how to position your baby so that feeding is comfortable.

We also advise you on complementary feeding, where we add other liquids and foods along with breast milk, to ensure that your baby gets the nutrition it needs to grow at this delicate stage. At Care For Your Child, our lactation consultants offer personalized advice and support to ensure both mother and baby have a positive breastfeeding experience.
