For expecting and new mothers in Huron County, breastfeeding can be a beautiful and rewarding experience. However, it can also come with challenges. Latching difficulties, sore nipples and  perceived low milk supply can be common concerns. At Huron Pelvic Health, we understand the importance of breastfeeding support, and that is why we offer lactation consultation.

What is a Lactation Consultant and How Can They Help?

A lactation consultant is a healthcare professional with specialized training and certification in breastfeeding. They have the knowledge and skills to assess your individual situation and provide personalized guidance to help you achieve your breastfeeding goals. Here are some ways a lactation consultant at Huron Pelvic Health can support you:

• Latch and Positioning: A proper latch is essential for successful breastfeeding. Our lactation consultant can assess your baby's latch and positioning, and offer techniques to ensure a comfortable and successful feeding experience.
• Painful Latch and Sore nipples: Sore nipples may be an indication that baby is not latched correctly. Our lactation consultant can assess the cause of pain and suggest positioning and attachment techniques to prevent discomfort.
• Low Milk Supply: Many mothers worry about their milk supply. Our lactation consultant can help you understand milk production, suggest strategies to increase supply, and ensure your baby is transferring milk effectively.
• Feeding Cues: Understanding your baby's hunger cues can be the key to success. Our  lactation consultant can provide guidance on interpreting cues and provide strategies that work for both you and your baby.
• Prenatal Lactation Consultation: A Lactation Consultant can provide you guidance and support to better prepare you before the baby comes so there is less stress around feeding in the early days.

• Understanding expectations and strategies for success as soon as your baby is born
