Lactation Education

Breastfeeding Education and Support

Breastfeeding education aims at increasing knowledge and skills. This helps parents to view breastfeeding as normal, and to mentally prepare themselves for the life changes that come with breastfeeding.

 

Prenatal Lactation Consultation

It is recommended to have at least your prenatal lactation consultation/ class at the beginning of your third trimester. Having a consultation at approximately 28-32 weeks will ensure everything is fresh in your memory. You will also gain the knowledge far enough in advance to plan ahead for your birth with confidence.

For consultation with an IBCLC, please contact us.

 

Postnatal Lactation Support & Consultations 

Fortunately a growing number of hospitals and birthing centers are pro-breastfeeding. If you require in-hospital support, we can organise this beforehand, or you can contact us when required. Sometimes everything seems to be going so well in the hospital and suddenly becomes really hard when you get home, you can book a private consultation/ virtual consultation. 

Becoming a parent for the first or third time can bring its unique challenges. We respect every individual, every story and every emotion. 

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines maternal mental health as “a state of well-being in which a mother realizes her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her community” (2; p 1195)
