Your little one has arrived and amidst the excitement of settling in with your new bundle, questions and challenges often arise:
Breastfeeding started alright in the hospital, why is it so uncomfortable now?
Baby is waking frequently through the night & sleeping a lot through the day ~ are her days & nights mixed up?
Baby isn’t pooping as regularly as I thought he would & his poop looks strange ~ what’s healthy?
I’m noticing daily shifts in my mood ~ some days are good, other days, I just don’t want to get out of bed.
New health concerns have popped up (or previous health concerns have gotten worse) since baby arrived.
There are so many choices I need to make for Baby & so much information out there, how do I make the right choice?
While it’s a natural process, breastfeeding doesn’t always come easy. Moms and babies do a lot of learning in the early days & weeks, determining what works best for them.
Postpartum breastfeeding & mothering support consultations also integrate lactation consulting & naturopathic medicine, providing:
- observation & guidance around optimal positioning, latch & feeding behaviours
- assessing, navigating & resolving feeding challenges
- discussion about sleep & how it’s going for mom & baby
- discussion about postpartum mood & energy
- preparation for solid food introduction when baby is showing signs of readiness
- discussion about support resources & referrals when needed
