Breastfeeding, while natural, doesn't always come easily. Many new mothers encounter challenges, from latch difficulties and nipple pain to concerns about milk supply or infant weight gain. Knowing when to seek professional lactation support can prevent issues from escalating and help you achieve your feeding goals. If you experience persistent pain, your baby isn't gaining weight adequately, or you have concerns about milk production, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) can provide expert guidance. They can assess feeding, offer personalized strategies, and provide reassurance. Early intervention is key; don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or difficulties, as timely support can make all the difference in a successful breastfeeding journey.
