When breastfeeding is established it’s usually easy, convenient and such a pleasure. However, it is not uncommon to encounter challenges. MAMA’s LC can help with the following:
- Attachment difficulties
- Clamping/biting nipples
- Sleepy baby
- Spilling/leaking milk at mouth
- Unsatiated at breast
- Insufficient weight gain
- Nipple/breast pain
- Blocked ducts / engorgement / mastitis
- Low supply
- Over supply / forceful let down
- Ineffective breast emptying
- Supplementing after feeds
- Excessively long feeds
- Thrush
- Colic symptoms
- Refuses or struggles with bottle
- Breast preference
- Discouragement with breastfeeding, feelings of anxiety or depression
And much more!
Sometimes just reassurance, encouragement, some advice and a plan can make such a difference.
A postnatal consult includes taking a history, inspecting your breasts and nipples, inspecting baby’s mouth and observing a breastfeed. We will develop an individualised breastfeeding plan and can refer you to other health professionals if indicated. We offer follow up via phone or email after each consultation.
We can see you at our Kensington or Hampton clinics.
