Painful or damaged nipples, a shallow latch that never quite feels right, low supply or oversupply, engorgement, blocked ducts and mastitis, slow weight gain, a baby who falls asleep at the breast before finishing, nipple shields and how to wean off them, and tongue or lip tie - assessed and, where appropriate, referred, never diagnosed or treated here as a cure.
If any of this sounds like your week, you are not doing it wrong. Feeding is a skill two people learn together, and most of these resolve with the right adjustment and some time.
Credentials matter here: consultations are provided by an IBCLC, the recognized professional standard in lactation care. Many insurance plans reimburse visits with a superbill, and I am not your baby's medical provider - I coordinate with your pediatrician and refer out whenever something is outside my scope.
