What does a Lactation consultant do to make the breastfeeding easy

Breastfeeding is not always instinctive and not always easy at first, but with the right help and support it can be a valuable and enjoyable experience for you and your baby.

If you feel you need added support with breastfeeding in the early weeks, and indeed the early months, Nightingale can offer this service at your own home by our Lactation Consultant home visits.

The most important part of getting breastfeeding right at the start is the baby’s latch. A good latch prevents nipple soreness and ensures that the baby obtains the optimum amount of milk. A lactation consultation can assist by observing a feed and then offering advice to help perfect this.

Benefits of breastfeeding

Early colostrum rich milk in the first few days after birth is full of protein and carbohydrates for your fast growing new-born. It is also easily digestible, reducing risk of colic.

Importance of breastfeeding

Breast milk is the ultimate personalised medicine, supporting growth of healthy bacteria in the baby’s intestines, the seat of their immunity. It helps prevent infection and obesity.
Breast milk contains the right ingredients for growth in the first few months and no extra water is needed.
Breastmilk doesn’t need to be prepared and it is at a constant temperature.
Feeding in the early weeks helps the uterus return to its original size.
Breastfeeding can enhance the bond between mother and baby.

The coolest thing about breast milk is that it is mother specific. Every woman produces slightly different breast milk, based on her personal biome, hormones and antibodies, but it is always made in exactly the right proportions of nutrients.
