Lactation Consultation
Congratulations! You’ve just had a baby!
Whether this is your first child or you're an experienced mom, you might have breastfed before or prepared for breastfeeding during your pregnancy. Maybe you’re currently breastfeeding and everything is going really well, but you want to make sure you’re doing everything correctly. Or perhaps you’re facing breastfeeding challenges. No matter your situation—I’m here for you.
If you live in the Sant Cugat or Barcelona area, I offer personal and professional breastfeeding consultations right in your home, at a time that’s convenient for you, and in the environment where you feel most natural and secure. With over a decade of experience as a certified nurse and lactation consultant, I have supported many mothers on their breastfeeding journey and I’d be delighted to get to know you too.
You probably know that breast milk is the best food for your baby. Breastfeeding provides all the essential nutrients your baby needs for healthy development, strengthens their immune system, and contributes to bonding with the mother. Breast milk is uniquely tailored to your baby’s needs and changes as they grow. Breastfeeding also supports your own health. In fact, every drop of breast milk is amazing!
Why Should You Consider Breastfeeding Consultation?
Breastfeeding, while a natural act, doesn’t always come naturally or without difficulty. A good lactation consultant will first assess how you’re positioning your baby at the breast; sometimes, even a small change in position can make the difference between a breastfeeding experience you dream of and one that is accompanied by pain. There are medical conditions related to the birth, the mother, or the baby that can complicate the process. As a certified lactation consultant, I am skilled at identifying and addressing these issues professionally, tailoring solutions to each mother and baby.
During our consultation, we will talk about the specific needs of you and your baby. Together, we will learn correct breastfeeding techniques, address any challenges you’re facing, and create a personalized plan that suits you. I believe in partnering with the mother and understand that the journey to successful breastfeeding is personal and requires individual attention.
My approach is holistic, focusing on you and your baby at the center. As part of the consultation, I always consider what is important to you as a mother and what your breastfeeding goals are. Whether you aim for exclusive breastfeeding, pumping, or a combination, I’m here to help you create a customized plan that meets all your needs and those of your baby, guiding you with precise instructions on how to adapt to your baby’s needs.
Why Choose Me?
Beyond breastfeeding consultation, I am also a certified nurse specializing in infants and children, bringing a broader perspective that may assist you in ongoing baby care. I can help you understand discharge instructions from the nursery, answer questions related to baby care beyond breastfeeding, and assist with any additional medical concerns related to your baby’s health and well-being. Choosing me as your lactation consultant not only ensures support for breastfeeding but also provides comprehensive and safe guidance during this sensitive and important time.
I believe that successful breastfeeding starts in a supportive and relaxed environment. Therefore, I come directly to your home, at a time that suits you, and in a place where you feel at ease. This allows me to get to know your living environment and support you in the best possible way.
Support and Guidance After the Visit
Breastfeeding is a personal and emotional journey, and as a consultant, I see it as a mission. I don’t just support you during the visit, but continue to provide professional guidance even after the consultation. I’m available for any questions or concerns that arise and am always here to help you throughout the entire process.
If you feel that breastfeeding is something you want to succeed in, I am here for you. Together, we can overcome the challenges and create a successful and fulfilling breastfeeding experience for you and your baby.
