Postnatal Consultation
A lactation consultation normally includes visual and physical assessment of the baby’s mouth and the mother’s breasts, observation of the baby breastfeeding, analysis of the breastfeeding history, demonstration of techniques to improve breastfeeding, and sometimes use of equipment.
I give permission for Lactation Consultant Mo Brownlee of Nurture Breastfeeding to carry out the above.
I understand that I have the right to decline any or all suggested techniques, equipment, or actions.
I understand that all medical care is to be provided by my doctor and health care professionals. I give permission for information to be shared with them if required. I understand that Mo Brownlee is required to share information with relevant professionals if she has cause for concern about the client or baby’s welfare.
Antenatal Consultation
An antenatal lactation consultation is an opportunity to explore concerns, discuss how to optimise early breastfeeding, and develop a plan to feel more prepared and confident. Inspection of a mother’s breasts may assist this process.
