Lactation Consultant

Lactation Consulting services

Breastfeeding is a learned habit for the baby and a learned skill for the mother. Sometimes its hard, sometimes its frustrating but it is always worth it.

Breastfeeding is a women's and baby’s right.

Most breastfeeding “failures” are due to mothers not getting the right advice and intervention soon enough. Breastfeeding “problems” are easiest to fix in the first days of life, before babies develop poor latch – on and poor habits.

Look for help as soon as you feel that something is wrong.
