What does a lactation consultant do?

A lactation consultant ensures that breastfeeding goes as smoothly as possible for both you and your baby. Do you experience problems when your baby is latching onto your breast? Do you feel pain while feeding? Do you have doubts about your baby’s growth? These are all questions you can discuss with a lactation consultant.

People often think that you can only meet with a lactation consultant after your baby is born. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am available to support you during your pregnancy as well. Whether you’re seeking information or advice to be perfectly prepared, I am here to help. I can advise you and your partner, and guide you (and your baby) through a consultation in your home. Each consultation is fully tailored to your personal situation and needs.

This means you can rely on my knowledge and expertise. As a certified lactation consultant, I must meet strict requirements, ensuring quality and security for you.
