There are so many situations in which a breastfeeding mother will need a lactation consultant. If lactation visits are not part of the daily routine of a hospital, a nurse can request the mother be seen so that a consultant can:
1. Consult with the mother in privacy
2. Give the mother a positive feeling about the situation
3. Be empathetic
4. Tell the mother exactly what she is doing with every part of the examination
Clinically, the lactation consultant will:
1. Observe the baby's appearance and behavior
2. Examine the mother's breasts and nipples
3. Observe the baby during a breastfeeding and adjust positioning if need be
4. Correct any breastfeeding problems observed
A breastfeeding mother should not hesitate to contact her lactation consultant for any reason.
