Some of the BEST questions I hear during a lactation consultation are the ones moms don’t always realize they can ask.
Questions like:
“Is this normal?”
“How do I know if my baby is getting enough?”
“Am I doing this right?”
“Why does feeding feel so difficult?”
“How do I know if I actually have a low supply?”
“Can I breastfeed and use formula?”
“Is it supposed to hurt this much?”
“Why does my baby latch well on one side but struggle on the other?”
“What can I do to make feeding feel more manageable?”
And sometimes the question is simply…
“Can we figure this out without me feeling so overwhelmed?”
YES. 🤍
You don’t have to come to a consultation knowing exactly what’s wrong.
You don’t need to know the right terminology or have a list of questions prepared.
You can simply come with your baby, your concerns, and what you’ve been experiencing.
From there, we can look at the whole picture—feeding, baby’s behavior, latch, milk transfer, pumping, your goals, and most importantly, how YOU are doing.
My goal isn’t to give you a list of things you should be doing.
It’s to listen, problem-solve with you, answer your questions, and help you find a feeding plan that feels realistic for you and your baby.
So bring the questions you’re embarrassed to ask.
Bring the questions you’ve Googled 15 times. 😂
Bring the question that starts with, “This might be a really dumb question, but…”
There are no dumb questions here.
Sometimes the question you almost didn’t ask is the one that helps everything start to make a little more sense. 🤍
