MammaHub®
Breastfeeding consultation
Breastfeeding is the gold standard for newborn nutrition, providing all the necessary nutrients for optimal growth and development.
At the same time, breast milk provides unique immunological protection against infections and diseases in the early months after birth.
Although it is a completely natural process, breastfeeding can be a serious challenge for many mothers due to a number of physiological, anatomical, and psycho-emotional factors.
A lactation consultant is a specialist trained in lactation, neonatal nutrition and perinatal care. They work with mothers and newborns to provide individualized approaches and solutions based on scientific evidence and globally recognized standards (WHO, UNICEF, IBCLC).
The main aspects of breastfeeding counseling at MammaHub® are in the following main areas:
Lactation assessment
- Objective analysis of breast milk quantity;
- Tracking baby's weight gain;
- Assessment of suckling efficiency and feeding frequency.
Correction of the baby's twisting and position
- Learning different breastfeeding positions to achieve optimal effect and comfort;
- Prevention and treatment of sore nipples (rhagia), clogged milk ducts, mastitis;
- Correcting problems related to anatomical features in the baby.
Management of lactation problems
- Hypogalactia (insufficient breast milk) – strategies for increasing lactation through stimulation and proper breastfeeding regimen;
- Hyperlactation (excessive milk production) – regulation of production and management of the let-down reflex;
- Breast milk retention and mastitis – prevention and therapy of inflammatory processes in the mammary gland.
Consultations for special conditions
