Empowering Your Breastfeeding Journey
Breastfeeding is nature’s way of giving your baby a healthy start, but it’s not always easy.
When To Seek Help?
A good time to meet with the Latch Lady is prenatally, in the hospital after birth, or when you take your baby home from the hospital. Being prepared for what to expect and having the tools in place ahead of time can go a long way in preventing issues like sore nipples, and promoting healthy milk production and proper latch. However, even with the best efforts and experienced moms, issues might still arise.
You might need help if:
You are concerned about low milk supply
You feel your baby is not getting enough milk
Your baby cries all the time
Your baby sleeps all the time
You have sore, cracked nipples
You dread nursing due to latch problems
The filling of your breasts (engorgement) does not occur by the 5th day after birth
You are severely engorged
Your baby does not latch onto your breast
Your baby does not have 3 or more yellow, runny stools by day six
Your baby has not regained birth weight at 2 weeks
