What Are Some Techniques and Tools Recommended by Lactation Consultants?
Lactation consultants often recommend:
- Breast Pumps: Essential for mothers whose babies cannot latch directly. - Nipple Shields: Useful for babies who have difficulty achieving a proper latch. - Supplemental Nursing Systems (SNS): Helps provide additional nutrition while the baby is breastfeeding. - Positioning Techniques: Different positions such as the football hold or side-lying position can aid in more effective feeding depending on the baby's condition.
