Common Breastfeeding Challenges That We Can Help With
At Zita Maria, we understand that breastfeeding can present unexpected difficulties and our expert team is well-versed in helping mothers to navigate them including:
​
-
Latching Difficulties: Poor latch can lead to ineffective feeding, resulting in frequent feeds, weight loss, and an unsettled baby.
-
Sore or Damaged Nipples: Improper latch or positioning can cause pain and discomfort for mothers during feeding.
-
Low Milk Supply: Various factors can affect milk production, potentially necessitating more frequent feeding sessions.
-
Mastitis and Engorgement: Poor milk drainage can lead to these painful conditions, affecting both comfort and milk supply.
-
Tongue-Tie Issues: Early identification and treatment of tongue-tie can significantly improve breastfeeding outcomes.
​
These challenges can be worrying and exhausting for new mothers but with expert care and support, most can be effectively managed.
While breast milk is widely recognised as the optimal nutrition for babies, we support all feeding choices. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and support you need for a positive feeding experience, regardless of your chosen method.
