The decision to breastfed your
baby is one of the most important decisions you’ll
make as a new parent. Babies were born to breastfed
and breastfeeding is the natural way to feed a
baby.
Occasionally pre-existing medical
conditions/surgeries and situations MAY
have an impact on your breastfeeding experience
with your baby.
With good prenatal care, and
a prenatal breastfeeding consultation you’ll
be prepared to know when to contact a lactation
consultant for further help and advice in reaching
YOUR breastfeeding goals after
delivery. Many times when you have a plan in place
you’ll feel more confident in knowing what
to do if any breastfeeding difficulties arise.
Here are SOME
of the reasons when a prenatal breastfeeding assessment
may be beneficial:
- Previous breast or chest
surgeries of any kind (even as a child)
- Previous breast augmentation
surgery
- Have undergone gastric bypass
surgery
- Previous breast infections
- Difficulty conceiving or
infertility treatments
- You are a diabetic
- You or your spouse have
food sensitivities/allergies
- History of thyroid dysfunction
(hyper or hypothyroidism)
- Been diagnosed as having
polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
- History of high blood pressure
- Been told you are obese
by your medical provider
- Prior breastfeeding difficulties
with other children
- Multiple pregnancy (twins,
triplets)
- Know you are expecting a
baby with cleft lip/palate or any other medical
condition (cardiac, neurological, etc.)
- Want to know how to prenatally
express colostrum. In the circumstance your
baby requires supplementation for medical reasons
this avoids the introduction of artificial baby
milk (formula) when unnecessary
Please contact
me if interested in a prenatal breastfeeding
consultation or at any time you have breastfeeding
questions or concerns following your delivery.
Congratulations again on your
expectant arrival!
