A lactation consultant is a healthcare specialist in the clinical management of breastfeeding. Lactation consultants support breastfeeding and can help manage issues such as:
- Improper latch
- Low supply
- Painful nursing
- Engorgement
- Supply concerns
- Difficulty waking baby for feeds
- Mastitis
- Blocked ducts
- Thrush of infected nipples
- Premature baby
Lactation consultants see clients in hospital, clinic, virtually or at their home.They usually see clients early in the postpartum period but can also see clients prenatally or months after the baby is born. Wherever you are on your breastfeeding journey, a lactation consultant can help support and guide you.
