What is it?
Lactation consultants are experts in the management of breastfeeding and human lactation. They are trained to empower and teach mothers how to feed their babies. They help women experiencing breastfeeding problems, such as latching difficulties, painful nursing, and low milk production. A lactation consultant also helps babies who aren’t gaining enough weight.
Our lactation consultants hold an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) qualification.
