Frequently Asked Questions

What does a lactation consultant help with?

Lactation consultants help with breastfeeding - latching difficulties, sore nipples, low milk supply concerns, feeding positions, pumping and storage, and the transition to solid foods for older infants.

Is my milk supply really low?

Perceived low supply is far more common than true low supply. Adequate wet nappies and steady weight gain usually mean supply is fine. A consultation assesses feeding properly before any supplementation is considered.

How does an online lactation consultation work?

You can join with your baby and demonstrate a feed on camera. The consultant observes the latch and position, identifies what to adjust, and follows up until feeding is comfortable and the baby is gaining well.

When should solid foods be started?

Around six months of age, alongside continued breastfeeding, starting with soft home foods offered patiently. The consultant can give you an age-wise plan suited to your family's diet.
