Postpartum-After Baby Arrives

“No doubt I would have given up breastfeeding if I had not reached out and got the expert breastfeeding help I needed”

-Kara Gonnelly

WHEN DO I GET HELP

Any time you feel something isn’t right or you feel frustrated you should reach out for help. It doesn’t mean you need a consult, but give us a call often times we are able to help right over the phone. Our experience shows that if we are unable to resolve your issue after 10 min on the phone you most likely would highly benefit from a one on one lactation consult.

A Board Certified Lactation Consultant is considered an expert. There are various levels of breastfeeding professionals including certified lactation educator, certified lactation counselor as well as a peer counselor. All are knowledgeable in breastfeeding but the IBCLC is the highest level world wide.

 

 

RECOMMENDATIONS

Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended by the American Association of Pediatrics for 6 months. Solids are then added and continued breastfeeding up to a year or longer based on preference.

WHAT IS NORMAL

Everyone’s normal is different but breastfeeding should not cause stress or be super painful.  By the time baby is 7 days old you should have 6-8 diapers and 3-6 poops in a 24 hour period. We also recommend http://www.kellymom.com as the preferred breastfeeding website that is evidenced based and is a top rated site.
