The Care Pathway
1. Assessment
A lactation consultant observes a feeding session and assesses latch and positioning.
2. Guidance
Practical techniques are shown to improve latch, positioning and comfort.
3. Follow-up
Your baby's weight and feeding progress are checked after adjustments.
4. Ongoing Support
Continued guidance is available as feeding needs change over time.
“Our pediatric care team supports your child and family through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
The primary goal is comfortable, effective feeding that supports your baby's growth. Most feeding difficulties improve significantly with hands-on support.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your child's care team will discuss individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
Many mothers and babies see improvement within one or two sessions of hands-on lactation support.
Your care plan includes hands-on feeding guidance, a weight check for your baby, and ongoing support as feeding needs evolve.
Careful monitoring, follow-up visits and parent guidance all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome for your child.
