Common questions

Have a question that's not in the list? Get in touch with me or book a free consultation and I'll be happy to tell you more.

Is breastfeeding sore?

Breastfeeding shouldn't be painful; however, there may be some initial discomfort. A proper latch, with the baby's mouth on the areola, ensures effective milk flow and transfer. Incorrect latching, such as on the nipple, can cause pain and hinder milk production. If experiencing pain, consult a lactation consultant or OB-GYN for guidance.

There are many ‘methods’ of sleep coaching, and it’s fair to say that there is no ‘one size fits all’ strategy.

I use a hybrid approach depending on what I think will work best for your family’s needs, which is based off of the information that you give me throughout our time together, as well as my extensive experience with babies and children.

How long should I breastfeed for?

The World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, followed by breastfeeding alongside solids until 2 years or longer, if desired. Breastfeeding can continue for as long as Mum and baby are happy doing so. If supplementing with formula, consult your paediatrician.

How will I know if I have enough milk for my baby?

Most mums produce enough breast milk to exclusively feed their baby for as long as they want to. Breastfeeding immediately after birth boosts milk production. At the start, newborns need 1 teaspoon of milk each feed, doubling daily. Milk production increases to meet demand; as breastfeeding frequency decreases, milk production naturally tapers off. As a general rule, if baby is alert, waking for feeds and having at least 5 wet/3 dirty nappies (6 wet for cloth nappies) per day, they are receiving enough milk. If in any doubt about your baby's health, immediately contact your paediatrician.

Is it normal to have only a small amount of breastmilk at the start?

Yes, this is called Colostrum and is rich ininfection-fighting and good gut flora properties. Mums typically produce drops to teaspoons of colostrum in the first days, turning to cloudy white milk by the second week. Colostrum is all your baby needs, as it is rich in nutrients and calories. It’s often called ‘liquid gold’ due to these properties.
