How does a Lactation Consultation work?

Your sessioncan be done online through Zoom or in person at our Orlando Super Store. During the consultation the Lactation Consultant will explain the importance of breastfeeding and its benefits for mother and baby. We guide you on how to deal with the insecurities and anxieties related to breastfeeding, we clarify the myths and truths surrounding breastfeeding and we will work helping with breast care, milk production, position, attachment, among others.

Why Seek Breastfeeding Consultation?

Breast milk is the best and most complete food for the baby. It provides a source of nutrients specially adapted to the child’s digestive and metabolic conditions, while also offering protection against pathogenic microorganisms.

Human milk offers the baby a nutritional value that cannot be surpassed by any other milk on the market.

The bioavailability of nutrients in human milk is greater than in any other food or supplement. Prolonged and exclusive breastfeeding has been shown to contribute to infant cognitive development and boosting infant performance.

But breastfeeding requires a lot of dedication, training, patience and professional help! And for your breastfeeding to be more pleasant and follow a more peaceful path, it is important to prepare yourself with information.

The breastfeeding consultant is the most qualified healthcare professional to establish and maintain exclusive breastfeeding for up to 6 months, providing the newborn and mother with safe, pleasurable and nutritious food.
