Postpartum Latch and Learn

A postpartum appointment with a lactation educator is a one-on-one session designed to support new mothers in their breastfeeding journey. This appointment typically includes:

Latch Assessment: The educator observes how the baby latches and offers guidance to improve comfort and effectiveness.

Breastfeeding Techniques: Demonstration of different nursing positions to enhance milk transfer and reduce discomfort.

Addressing Concerns: Discussion of common breastfeeding challenges like nipple pain, engorgement, low milk supply, or baby’s weight gain.

Infant Feeding Cues: Education on recognizing when the baby is hungry or full.

Pump and Bottle-Feeding Guidance: Assistance with using a breast pump or transitioning between breast and bottle, if needed.

Emotional Support: Encouragement and reassurance to help the mother gain confidence in breastfeeding.

Lactation educators provide non-medical breastfeeding support
