Breastfeeding is nature's perfect  food that has a mix of vitamins, protein, and fat that provides infants and young children with the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development. It contains immunity-boosting antibodies and healthy enzymes, reduces the risk of viruses, urinary tract infections, inflammatory bowel disease, gastroenteritis, ear infections, and respiratory infections among other benefits.

​

Most women can breastfeed, as long as they have good information and the rigth support, and breastfeeding has benefits for the mother too, lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancer and lowers the risk of osteoporosis, too.

The WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for six months, after that the introduction of solid food but being milk the main source of nutrients for the first year, the recomendation is to maintain breastfeeding for a minimum of 2 years and after 2 years until both mum and baby decide so.

​

¿What does a lactation consultan do?

 

The lactation consultants offer information and support to encourage the breastfeeding process if that is what the mother is looking for. Although we know the innumerable benefits of human milk, we do not force the decision to breastfeed, what we do is offer information so that each woman can make the best decision for herself, her baby and her family.

¿How can I help?

 

I offer is support, ideally from pregnancy where I provide important information necessary to know wthat it is normal and what to expect in the process of breastfeeding, we see possible scenarios and the keys to achieve a successful breastfeeding free of myths and fears.

I also give the oportunity to learn mindfulness simple and easy techniques to feel more secure during this process.
