Курс ГВ 101 - для мам, которые хотят кормить грудью легко с первого дня
Lactation Consultant
Valencia, Tbilisi & Online Worldwide
My principles
-
I try to solve the problem in one consultation.
-
I strive to ensure that after my treatment the Mother remains confident that she can cope with almost any difficulty with her breastfeeding, if it arises in the future, and will have a clear plan of action in her specific situation.
-
I am convinced: the goal of a postpartum specialist is not just to check if everything is okay, or to solve a problem, but also to help Mom and Dad develop what I call "parental competence". Not to be a crutch, without which they can not do, but to teach SKILLS that will help them feel good enough parents.
How we work during the consultation?
-
I offer in-person visits at your home or hospital (currently in Valencia and surrounding areas — check my travel updates, you might catch me in your city!). For all other locations, online video calls work just as good!
-
Before our consultation, I collect detailed information about your birth experience, your baby, your health, and your feeding history.
-
We won’t rush. I’m here to listen and let you cry and release emotions if you need to. Baby can be fussy and make noises - it won't disturb me.
-
I examine the breasts for engorgement or lumps (this is easily done over video as well).
-
I gently resolve engorgement and milk plugged ducts (During online calls, I teach you how to handle it yourself, guide your hands, and demonstrate the techniques using a fake breast).
-
I check and adjust your baby's latch and help you find comfortable, stress-free feeding positions.
-
We check your baby's mouth, sucking dynamics, tongue movement, and lip/tongue ties.
-
I identify the root cause of the issue, explain everything clearly, and together we create a step-by-step action plan.
-
I teach you how to care for your nipples and explain how to use breast pumps and other feeding tools properly.
-
If necessary, I will refer you to trusted medical specialists.
-
I provide emotional and psychological support throughout, and we stay in touch for a full week after the consultation to track your progress.
In what cases more than 1 consultation may be needed?
-
Hypoplasia of the mammary gland: reaching exclusive breastfeeding may take time
-
Severe nipple traumatisation: first heal, then latch
-
The baby is in NICU: we solve the problem of maintaining lactation, then we learn to breastfeed directly
-
Complicated history of the mother from the endocrine system, IVF protocol, diabetes, PCOS, etc.
-
Suspected or diagnosed postpartum depression
-
Hypersensitivity of the breast
-
Maxillofacial deformities in the baby
-
Prematurity/extremely low or very high weight of the baby
-
Presence of a bottle or pacifier

I want to do it myself!:)
And I support this in every way, not only in words but also in actions! Specifically for mothers who are about to breastfeed for the first time or who've already had not very good experience with previous babies, I have created a practical course with basic knowledge about comfortable breastfeeding from the very first day! Remembering my, to say the least, not smooth experience of feeding my son, I am very sorry that back then there was no such structured, easy to digest and, most importantly, suitable for all women information... But now you have it)
