FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common lactation related questions here.
What is lactation consultation, and how can it help me?
A lactation consultation is a session with a certified lactation consultant who helps mothers with breastfeeding challenges, such as latch issues, low milk supply, sore nipples, or infant weight gain concerns. The goal is to provide personalized support for a smooth and comfortable breastfeeding journey.
When should I see a lactation consultant?
You should see a lactation consultant if you experience:
- Difficulty latching
- Painful breastfeeding or sore nipples
- Concerns about milk supply (low or oversupply)
- A baby who is not gaining enough weight
- Engorgement or blocked ducts
- Breastfeeding after a C-section or with medical conditions
Consulting early can help prevent long-term issues.
How soon after birth should I start breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding should ideally begin within the first hour after birth. This helps establish bonding, encourages milk production, and provides the baby with colostrum, which is rich in nutrients and antibodies.
How often should I breastfeed my newborn?
Newborns should be breastfed 8-12 times a day, approximately every 2-3 hours, including nighttime. As babies grow, the frequency may reduce, but each baby has unique needs.
What should I do if my baby refuses to latch?
If your baby has trouble latching, try:
- Ensuring a comfortable breastfeeding position
- Offering skin-to-skin contact before feeding
- Hand-expressing a few drops of milk to encourage suckling
- Consulting a lactation specialist for personalized guidance
How can I increase my milk supply?
To increase milk supply:
- Breastfeed frequently and on demand
- Ensure proper latch and positioning
- Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet
- Pump after feedings if needed
- Avoid formula supplementation unless medically advised
Our lactation consultants can create a tailored plan for you.
Is it normal to experience pain while breastfeeding?
Mild discomfort in the first few days is normal, but persistent pain is not. Pain may indicate a poor latch, tongue-tie, or another issue. A lactation consultation can help resolve discomfort and ensure a pain-free breastfeeding experience.
Can I continue breastfeeding if I have a low milk supply?
Yes! Most cases of perceived low milk supply can be improved with proper breastfeeding techniques, frequent feeding, and lactation support. Our specialists can assess the situation and guide you accordingly.
Can I breastfeed if I had a C-section?
Yes, breastfeeding after a C-section is possible. You may need assistance with positioning (e.g., football hold or side-lying position) to avoid pressure on the incision. Our lactation consultants provide hands-on support for a comfortable breastfeeding experience.
What foods should I eat or avoid while breastfeeding?
A balanced diet with protein, healthy fats, and whole grains supports milk production. Stay hydrated and limit caffeine, alcohol, and highly processed foods. Certain foods may cause sensitivity in babies, so consult our experts if needed.
Can I breastfeed if I am returning to work?
Yes! You can continue breastfeeding by pumping and storing breast milk. Our consultants can help you create a breastfeeding and pumping schedule, guide you on milk storage, and suggest tips for a smooth transition.
