Lactation Education
Breastfeeding Education and Support
Breastfeeding education aims at increasing knowledge and skills. This helps parents to view breastfeeding as normal, and to mentally prepare themselves for the life changes that come with breastfeeding.
Prenatal Lactation Consultation
It is recommended to have at least one prenatal lactation consultation/ class at the beginning of your third trimester. Having a consultation at approximately 28-32 weeks will ensure everything is fresh in your memory. You will also gain the knowledge far enough in advance to plan ahead for your birth and feeding your baby with confidence.
For consultation with an IBCLC, please contact us.
Postnatal Lactation Support & Consultations
We provide in-hospital consultations, as well as appointment based consultations. You can choose to come in for a one on one, or have this in the comfort of your home to allow you to be where you are most comfortable. We also provide virtual consultations for moms who prefer the convenience of this.
Becoming a parent for the first, third or fourth time can bring its unique challenges. We respect every individual, every story and every emotion. Maybe you didn’t breastfeed your first babies and are interested in giving it a shot now.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines maternal mental health as “a state of well-being in which a mother realizes her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her community” (2; p 1195)
