The Mother's Touch
We offer private in home lactation consultations serving Orange County California.
Breastfeeding is the best choice and most natural way to feed your baby and care for yourself. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends all infants receive their mother's milk for at least one year.
At The Mother's Touch, we believe that a woman is more likely to be able to breastfeed successfully if she receives the education and support she needs. We help families learn to nurture their child through breastfeeding. Some of the reasons to hire a lactation consultant are:
- Breastfeeding an adopted infant
- Prevention/management of sore nipples
- Engorgement
- Breastfeeding a jaundiced ( high bilirubin) infant
- Increasing or decreasing milk production
- Breastfeeding when a child gains weight slowly
- Breastfeeding multiple infants (twins, triplets)
- Premature babies
- Separation of the mother and baby due to medical, work, or educational needs
- Breastfeeding infants with such neurological deficits as cerebral palsy or Down Syndrome
- Breastfeeding after breast surgery, such as implants or reduction
