IN PERSON CONSULTATIONS
Feeds
Whichever way you choose to feed your baby we can support your journey.
Many women have difficulties with breastfeeding early on. The good news is that most of these can be easily resolved with the right support.
Issues such as sore nipples, mastitis, blocked ducts, low supply and fussing at the breast can all be addressed during our breastfeeding consultations.
We can also help with managing recurrent mastitis, induced lactation and balancing breastfeeding with return to work and sport.
During an appointment Lisa and Colleen, will listen to the challenges you are having, and ideally observe a breast or bottle feed to then give you advice and support for your particular situation.
We use various strategies to help with breastfeeding issues, including the Gestalt Breastfeeding Approach to help optimise "fit and hold" which will often lead to resolution of many breastfeeding problems.
If you are looking at general preparation for breastfeeding before your baby arrives then our 4th trimester group session or webinar is a perfect choice! If you are anticipating more complex problems then we can address these in a clinic appointment.
