Breastfeeding Support
Because breast milk is the perfect first food for your baby, Newborn Connections™ wants to make sure that you have the breastfeeding support you need. Through our private breastfeeding consultations, Latch Clinic , and weekly support groups, you can receive professional instruction and reassurance from our Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultants.
Breastfeeding is a learned skill and doesn't always come naturally. Some new mothers may experience soreness in their breasts and have concerns about whether their baby is latched on correctly. A breastfeeding consultation can help with these issues. Some common questions for which mothers seek a consultation include:
- Is my positioning and latch correct?
- Do I have enough milk?
- Is my baby gaining enough weight?
Consultations
"When I had problems breastfeeding, the lactation consultants were life savers. I got an appointment quickly and for two weeks, I received follow-up calls every few days. That help went a long way in making me feel supported."
- Bea
