When feeding feels hard, it rarely means something is ‘wrong’ with you or your baby. It usually means there’s a specific, solvable issue, and naming it is the first step to fixing it.
Common issues we work through
- Painful or shallow latch: often improved with positioning and depth adjustments.
- Clicking, pulling off, or fussiness at the breast: we assess what’s behind it, including oral function.
- Worries about milk supply or weight gain: we look at how milk is being removed, not just how much you make.
- Pumping struggles: flange fit, schedule, and technique.
Virtual visits are genuinely effective for newborn feeding. Short videos of a real feed at home often reveal more than a single observed feed in an unfamiliar clinic.
A plan you can actually follow
The outcome of every visit is a clear, realistic plan, small, doable steps rather than an overwhelming list. And because you get a week of follow-up messaging, we can fine-tune as you go, so you’re supported through the adjustment, not just at the appointment.
