What is Breastfeeding Counseling?
Breastfeeding counseling is provided to every mother who needs support during the breastfeeding process. Breastfeeding can be quite challenging and stressful, especially if it is the mother’s first experience.
To ensure a smoother and more comfortable adaptation to this process, breastfeeding counseling is offered. Breastfeeding consultants are trained professionals in this field who provide all the necessary support to mothers.
Who Should Receive Breastfeeding Counseling?
- Individuals who may experience difficulties with breastfeeding
- Mothers with no prior breastfeeding experience
- Situations where the baby refuses to breastfeed
- Painful breastfeeding issues
- Sore nipples and maternal stress
- When the baby refuses to latch
- Low or excessive milk supply
- Excessive fullness and discomfort in the breast
- When there is a need to express and store breast milk
- In cases of multiple babies, breastfeeding counseling is strongly recommended
Prenatal Breastfeeding Education
The main causes of breastfeeding problems are often incorrect practices or misinformation applied immediately after birth.
Prenatal breastfeeding education provides guidance on how to start breastfeeding correctly. It is recommended to receive this training before birth and continue after birth if needed.
Topics Supported in Breastfeeding Counseling
- My baby refuses to latch — what should I do?
- I think my milk supply has decreased, but I don’t want to switch to formula. How can I continue breastfeeding?
- I think my baby is not getting enough nutrition — what can I do?
- My nipples are sore — will this harm my baby?
- I feel pain while breastfeeding — it is very stressful for me.
- My nipple wounds are not healing — what should I do?
- Is my baby latching correctly? What are the healthiest breastfeeding positions?
- How can I prevent common issues? (low milk flow, incorrect latch, pain, mastitis)
- How can I continue breastfeeding after returning to work?
- How can I find the most suitable milk expression and storage methods?
- How can I breastfeed in special situations (twins, premature babies, or babies with medical challenges)?
All concerns and questions of the mother are addressed. If necessary, referrals to medical professionals are made. To reduce anxiety, correct breastfeeding techniques and conditions are explained to the mother.
A smooth and positive breastfeeding experience is very important for secure attachment. Remember, babies do not only receive milk from you, but also peace and comfort.
