Breastfeeding consultation
WHAT DOES A BREASTFEEDING CONSULTATION INVOLVE?
-
Detailed medical history: We begin with a detailed medical history of both the mother and baby, including pregnancy and birth history.
-
Comprehensive breastfeeding assessment:
We assess an entire feeding session: evaluating the mother's breast (cracks, pain, milk production), the baby’s oral structures, and the effectiveness of the mother-baby tandem. The breastfeeding technique is reviewed, milk transfer is measured, and we determine if supplementation is necessary. We also assess the baby’s suck-swallow-breathe coordination (and other primitive reflexes) to identify any difficulties. -
Personalized action plan:
Once we have all the information, we work together to establish a tailored plan that meets your needs, with clear goals to maintain milk production and optimize breastfeeding. We’ll also address all your questions to ensure you feel confident and informed to enjoy effective and satisfying breastfeeding. -
If needed, I provide referrals to other professionals (neonatal physiotherapists, orofacial myologists, pediatric dentists, and pediatricians) and send them a visit report. I’m always available to collaborate and ensure a coordinated approach so that everyone is rowing in the same direction.
Other types of breastfeeding visits:
-
Returning to work: What now? Do I need a breast pump? Which one is best, and how do I use it?
-
Gestational loss and milk production: How to manage it?
-
Introducing the bottle: How and when to do it correctly?
-
Pacifier: Yes or no? When to introduce it and which type is best?
-
Baby’s slow weight gain and supplementation: When is it necessary and how to do it?
-
Use of nipple shields and how to wean off them
-
All journeys come to an end... Exploring different types of gentle and respectful weaning.
Follow-up support:
In the week after the consultation, you’ll have the option of two follow-up calls to address any questions that may come up. You can also send me messages via WhatsApp, and I’ll share helpful resources (videos, articles, protocols…).
