Lactation Support

Antenatal breastfeeding education is an important step in preparing for your breastfeeding journey.

At Nurtured Bub, I provide evidence-based information and practical tips to help you feel confident. Our consult covers breastfeeding goals, how breastfeeding works, latching techniques, establishing a good milk supply, and identifying red flags so you'll know when to call an IBCLC.

The service also includes a follow-up phone call after your baby is born for continued support.

During your appointment, I’ll get to know your unique situation, reviewing your pregnancy, birth, and any underlying factors that might affect breastfeeding. I’ll assess your baby’s oral function, latch, behavior at the breast, and milk transfer, while also covering your expectations, breast changes, and birth history. The session includes a full breastfeeding observation and a follow-up call 1 week later for continued support.

Sometimes, a follow-up consultation is needed for more complex situations that require extra support. These sessions allow us to revisit challenges, assess progress, and adjust your breastfeeding plan as needed. Whether it’s refining latch techniques, addressing supply issues, or managing new concerns, follow-ups provide ongoing care and tailored solutions to help you and your baby continue your breastfeeding journey successfully.
