​

5 Reasons To Book A Lactation Consultant!
 

1. Support you and your baby to get off to the best possible start on your breastfeeding journey

2. Help with any latching difficulties (breastfeeding should NOT be painful)

3. Learn how to know if your baby is drinking enough milk

4. Establish and maintain a good milk supply

5. Receive emotional and physical support around breastfeeding and associated challenges

​

We offer Prenatal Breastfeeding Education Classes to help you get off to the best possible breastfeeding start possible once your baby is born. We can educate you and provide you with the reassurance and confidence to successfully breastfeed while also being able to proactively resolve any potential troubles yourself.

Lactation Consultant support is available for any breastfeeding issue you may experience once your baby is born. Home visits are the norm with this service though support and advice can also be sought via Skype/Zoom for clients out of our serviced locations or internationally. Our experienced, trained and accredited Lactation Consultants will be able to address all of your concerns and leave you with a breastfeeding plan which fits your schedule and lifestyle.
