Breastfeeding is the biologically natural way to provide infants with the nutrition they need for health growth and development. Breastfeeding has important benefits for both mother and child. The World Health Organization (WHO) and Unicef support and promote exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of an infant’s life (without any additional food, beverage, water or pacifier) followed by continued breastfeeding with appropriate complementary foods for up to two years or beyond. The weaning off time will be determined by mother and child. This essentially means that the breastfeed duration is up to the mother.
Certain difficulties may appear in the beginning, such as the baby not latching onto the breast due to flat or inverted nipples; baby is tongue-tied; delayed mother-child contact after birth; nipple confusion due to bottle use; breast engorgement; injured nipples; reduced production or overproduction of milk. Every difficulty has a solution! I am able to support you in order to persistently and patiently address these breastfeeding difficulties, whether you are in the maternity hospital or at home.

I offer breastfeeding and lactation support for mothers and families who need further guidance and consultation.

The consultation can take part as breastfeeding information sessions or as a private visit in the comfort of your own home.
