What is Lactation Consulting?

Updated: Mar 2



A lactation consultant is a trained professional who specializes in breastfeeding support. They help parents overcome challenges related to breastfeeding, such as latch issues, milk supply concerns, pain during nursing, and more. Having a lactation consultant come to your home can be incredibly beneficial for new parents. Here are some key reasons why:


1. Comfort & Convenience

You don’t have to leave your home with a newborn, which can be stressful. Instead, our consultant comes to you and provides experienced and professional support in a familiar and relaxed environment.


2. Personalized Guidance

Our Consultant can assess your specific setup, including your nursing positions, home environment, and any potential challenges unique to your situation.


3. Hands-On Support

They can physically help with latching, positioning, and troubleshooting common breastfeeding issues like nipple pain, low milk supply, or baby’s difficulty feeding.


4. Reduces Stress & Anxiety

New parents often feel overwhelmed, and having an expert reassure and guide them in their own space can be incredibly calming and confidence-boosting.


5. Help with Pumping & Bottle Feeding

If you plan to pump or introduce bottles, an in-home consultant can show you how to use your pump correctly, store milk safely, and introduce bottles effectively.


6. Support for Special Situations

If your baby was premature, has a tongue tie, or any other feeding-related issues, a lactation consultant can provide tailored solutions.


7. Involves Other Caregivers

Partners or other family members can be included in the consultation to better understand how to support breastfeeding.


8. Follow-Up & Ongoing Support

Follow-ups are recommended to ensure continued progress and confidence in breastfeeding.
