Breastfeeding Support FAQs
Who can benefit from breastfeeding support?
Both moms and moms-to-be can greatly benefit from breastfeeding support with our IBCLCs. Whatever your status, our IBCLCs are here to help moms through their breastfeeding journey.
Our experienced IBCLCs have provided breastfeeding support to moms who have had no problems breastfeeding their first baby but are having problems breastfeeding their second child. This is not surprising as all babies are different.
Our IBLCs have also provided breastfeeding support to new moms helping them navigate through their breastfeeding journey, answering questions, and advising on all sorts of issues. There is nothing we haven’t heard or seen. Don’t feel embarrassed or intimidated to talk to us. There are no silly or stupid questions.
