Prenatal Lactation Consultations
Prenatal lactation visits, also known as antenatal or prenatal breastfeeding consultations, are sessions that take place before the birth of the baby to prepare expectant mothers for successful breastfeeding. These visits involve interactions between the mother and a lactation consultant to provide education, support, and guidance in anticipation of the breastfeeding journey.
Service I provide during this visit:
-
Education on Breastfeeding Basics
-
Assessment of anatomy and feeding expectations.
-
Discussion of Breastfeeding Benefits.
-
Addressing Common Concerns.
-
Breastfeeding Plan Development.
-

Prenatal lactation visits serve as a valuable opportunity for expectant mothers to gain knowledge, ask questions, and establish a supportive relationship with me, contributing to a smoother and more successful breastfeeding experience after the baby is born.
