Many parents get some breastfeeding assistance after delivering their babies. Sometimes all it takes to help a parent and baby get started with successful feeding is some basic support and a few kind words. Other times, basic breastfeeding support is just not enough. Depending on where the baby is delivered, parents may not have access to prompt lactation support by board-certified lactation consultants, health care providers may not have enough time or up-to-date breastfeeding expertise to provide adequate care, and breastfeeding issues may not arise until the parent has been discharged or no longer has postpartum help. Even if you have already seen a lactation specialist, if you are still dealing with challenges that are not resolving, then additional support is highly recommended! An appointment with our private practice lactation consultant is 100% devoted to your unique breastfeeding challenges. We work with you to either build on to the care plan you may have started with someone else or to help you create a new plan that better suits your needs. Every lactation consultant has a different style and approach to breastfeeding issues. Many families have found that working with Luna Lactation was an excellent fit for their family, even when other lactation specialists could not help them. Read their testimonials here. Just as you would “shop” around for a doctor, midwife, or other provider, I encourage you to do the same when considering a lactation consultant. One nice article done on lactation “experts” vs. Board Certified Lactation Consultants can be found here.
I saw a lactation specialist after giving birth but I am still having problems. How will an appointment with someone else benefit me?
