Breastfeeding & lactation care in Poway

If your baby struggles to latch, cannot latch completely, or causes nipple pain, a lactation consultant can assess your breastfeeding techniques and improve how your baby latches, resulting in more comfortable and efficient feedings.

If you’re not making enough breast milk — or making too much — a lactation consultant can evaluate your baby’s feeding patterns and teach you how to better control your milk supply.

If your baby isn't gaining the weight they should, a lactation consultant can work with your pediatrician to evaluate your feeding practices and suggest strategies to increase your baby’s growth.

New mothers shouldn’t have to suffer through painful breastfeeding, engorgement, cracked nipples, and other breast issues. A lactation consultant can help identify and fix underlying issues like poor latching, clogged milk ducts, or dermatitis.

Whether you are returning to work, exclusively pumping, or combo-feeding, a lactation consultant can assist you with pump setup, share milk storage guidelines, and help you create a pumping schedule.

A lactation consultant can work with adoptive parents, non-gestational parents who want to chest-feed, and other unique situations. A prenatal visit to discuss lactation options may also be beneficial.

Babies who are born prematurely, in a multiple birth, or with a cleft palate, lip ties, or tongue ties may struggle with breastfeeding. A lactation consultant can coordinate with your pediatrician to adapt feeding strategies as needed.
