Lactation
Registered IBCLC Lactation Consultant (ALCI)
The research-based evidence overwhelmingly points to the importance of breastfeeding for both mother and baby. Breast milk is an unequalled source of nourishment and health-giving properties for your baby. The action of feeding is also important for your baby’s physical and psychological development.
Breastfeeding isn’t always as easy as you might have hoped. Many mothers have breastfeeding difficulties and without support may discontinue breastfeeding even when they don’t want to do so. There are many techniques and methods to help with latching on, milk production, treating and preventing mastitis and decreasing nipple pain. I get great satisfaction in helping mums overcome breastfeeding difficulties and finding their groove with the baby at the breast.
If you are looking for breastfeeding support I can come to your home to assist you. The initial appointment lasts about 90 minutes where I will take a full history, observe a feed and work with you to develop a breastfeeding plan.
This initial appointment costs €150 for a home visit. Follow-up appointments are €100.
