We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new lactation consulting service that combines the power of breastfeeding support with a focus on mental health. At Nicely Counseling Services, we understand that the journey of feeding your little one can sometimes come with challenges and emotional ups and downs. That's why we're here to provide comprehensive care for both you and your baby!
In partnership with MLO Lactation , we are offering a unique approach to lactation support that takes your mental well-being into account every step of the way. Our compassionate IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) is not only an expert in all things breastfeeding but also trained to provide emotional support during this transformative period. For those who are in need of more therapeutic support, we also have therapists trained in perinatal mental health on staff. Because we believe that a healthy mind and a happy heart go hand in hand. 💕
A lactation consultation may needed if you or your baby experience:
* Painful breastfeeding / Sore nipples
* Slow or no infant weight gain
* Trouble latching
* Gas or fussiness related to feedings
* Low milk or insufficient milk supply
* Oversupply or overactive letdown
* Pumping / Return to work
* Weaning
We know that navigating the world of lactation can be overwhelming, but you don't have to go through it alone. Our services include:
🤱 Personalized lactation consultations tailored to your specific needs.
🌟 Mental health assessments and support to ensure your emotional well-being.
📚 Educational resources on breastfeeding, self-care, and managing postpartum emotions.
💌 Ongoing follow-up and guidance to address any concerns or challenges you may face.
Together, we'll create a safe space where you can freely express your thoughts, ask questions, and find solace in the knowledge that you're not alone on this journey. Remember, your mental health matters. We're here to ensure your breastfeeding journey is as joyful and fulfilling as possible.
