What is Lactation Counseling?
Lactation counselling is counselling done to help new parents and their babies to overcome breastfeeding challenges. The main aim of lactation counselling is to make the baby acquainted with the mother and help them feed them better. It is advised to feed the baby with 6 months of mother’s milk. Breastfeeding protects the child from infections and diseases and provides them with health benefits.
Why is Lactation Counseling Important?
Lactation counselling helps the mother overcome any hesitation or challenges while feeding the newborn. Lactation counselling can help you address issues like:
- Poor milk supply
- Breast pain
- Sore nipples
- Trouble latching
- Poor infant weight gain
- Refusal to feed
- Problems while pumping breast milk
- Finding a comfortable nursing position.
Breastfeeding is one of the most important phases for the newborn and the mother. Taking prenatal lactation counselling can help you prepare better for feeding the baby. You will get a better idea about what to expect and what not to while breastfeeding. Lactation counselling also helps the working mothers by teaching them when to seek to breastfeed when they return to work.
Post-pregnancy you must examine how the lactation counsellor is helping you and your baby to get better feeding. A counsellor will also give you some ways by which you the baby can latch better for breastfeeding. A lactation counsellor will also help you release undue stress because of poor feeding.
