LACTATION COUNSELLING
WHAT IS LOCTATION COUNSELLING?
Lactation counselling provides professional support to mothers throughout their breastfeeding journey. Whether you are a first-time mom or facing challenges with breastfeeding, certified lactation consultants offer guidance to ensure both mother and baby experience the benefits of breastfeeding.
WHY IS BREASTFEEDING IMPORTANT?
Breastfeeding is essential for both the baby’s health and the mother’s well-being. It provides:
- Essential Nutrition – Breast milk contains all the necessary nutrients for a baby’s growth.
- Stronger Immunity – Protects the baby from infections and diseases.
- Emotional Bonding – Strengthens the connection between mother and child.
- Postpartum Recovery – Helps the uterus return to its normal size and reduces postpartum bleeding.
- Health Benefits – Lowers the risk of obesity, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses in babies.
COMMON BREASTFEEDING CHALLENGES
Many mothers face difficulties during breastfeeding. Some common issues include:
- Latching Problems – The baby struggles to latch properly, leading to pain and poor milk transfer.
- Low Milk Supply – Concerns about producing enough milk for the baby’s needs.
- Engorgement and Blocked Ducts – Swollen, painful breasts due to milk buildup.
