Have you ever wondered why you might need a prenatal breastfeeding consult? Or maybe you didn’t even know they were an option!

Here are a few great reasons to have a consult with a lactation consultant BEFORE baby comes:
✨ History of pre-existing conditions (like PCOS, thyroid issues, diabetes)
✨ Breastfeeding difficulties with a previous baby
✨ History of breast surgery
✨ History of trauma to the breasts or chest
✨ Inverted nipples
✨ Having multiples (twins, triplets, etc) 👶👶
✨ You’re really anxious about breastfeeding

You can learn about nursing with your specific anatomy and get tips on the best way to bring in your milk supply.

Setting yourself up for successful instead of going in unknowing can be so beneficial!
