Do I need a lactation consultant?

If you are searching for lactation consultants, you may already know you need help. If you are still unsure, ask yourself the following questions:
  • Does it hurt when you nurse your baby?
  • Does your baby not latch well? Does your baby come off and on the breast frequently during a feeding? Do you hear clicking and popping while your baby is feeding?
  • Does your baby seem to cluster feed all day long? Does your baby not seem satisfied after a feeding?
  • Are feedings lasting too long and occurring too frequently?
  • Are you experiencing any nipple pain? Do you have cracks or bleeding of the nipples?
  • Are you concerned that you are not producing enough milk? Is your infant not gaining weight at checkups? Is your infant not having enough dirty diapers?
  • Are you making too much milk? Is your over supply causing difficulty with the latch?
  • Are you returning to work and needing help with pumping? Do you have questions about your pump or just about pumping in general?
If you answered “yes” to any of these, Baby Eyes Lactation is here to help!
