Prenatal consults with a trained IBCLC can help educate parents on what to expect during the first days/weeks of breastfeeding a newborn, as well as identify any medical history that could impact breastfeeding success. Learning about topics like prenatal colostrum collection & pumping can help support your journey in the postpartum period.

 

Prenatal breastfeeding consults can be especially helpful for first time parents, those expecting multiples, as well as mothers who have a history of feeding difficulties. 

​

Many health issues both before and during pregnancy can also put mothers at risk of delayed milk production and/or low milk supply. Some of these medical conditions include:

• Diabetes (Type I, II or Gestational)

• Hypertension

• Hypothyroidism

• Infertility (including PCOS, IVF/IUI treatments)

• Exposure to Epidural or Spinal Anesthesia during labor and/or delivery

• ​Breast reduction or augmentation including implants
