We offer individualized breastfeeding sessions for new mothers or for mothers who want to restart breastfeeding their babies
Program Highlights
Most hospitals perform poorly in preparing new mothers for breastfeeding and newborn baby care. Our breastfeeding support sessions help mothers learn the correct techniques for breastfeeding their babies.
We have successfully helped new mothers breastfeed their infants who were born 3 weeks early. The techniques involve scientifically proven methods that help latching, and helping associate breastfeeding with a positive experience for babies.
Starting breastfeeding is an exercise which requires patience on the part of the mother, and her breastfeeding support providers. We never give up on your baby because it is the most natural thing for babies to do after they are born. Mother’s nipples are coated with substances which babies are very familiar with, while in the womb. This causes a natural reflex technique for babies to seek out mother’s breast to suckle, once they are born. A patient approach which is relaxed and one which allows the baby to try different methods to seek and latch on to mother’s breast will be most successful.
Many mothers are also forced to give formula immediately after their babies’ birth, partly due to carelessness of their hospital care providers, or due to pressure from their relatives. Hospital staff who tell mothers “you have no milk” are either plain ignorant or are misleading mothers. Mother’s breasts ALWAYS have milk after their babies are born – that is a irrefutable fact of nature. It requires dedicated and patient approach on part of care providers to teach mothers how to help their newborn latch on to their breasts and to breastfeed.
Many mothers who seek our help had given formula to their babies immediately after they were born. Babies’ digestive systems are not built to handle formula milk, and may lead to poor digestion, including diarrhea and other complications. We have helped many such mothers go back to breastfeeding their babies successfully.
