[quote=Anonymous]I’ve met with two different lactation consultants from the breastfeeding center online and truly they are the reason I’m still breastfeeding. We took the class offered by Sibley before the baby was here and we were so tired we fell asleep during it. I remembered the basics of getting a latch and that was it. Hospital consultants were hit or miss and did best when I asked them specific questions. One was really good and got me in a good place. We did our first virtual consultant 5 days postpartum but you could book one sooner. Breastfeeding Center is also super easy to book. I was crying one night and booked an appointment for 9 the next morning. It was like therapy.

There’s also a great free online breastfeeding group that meets virtually every Tuesday. They start the session going around doing introductions and if there’s anything you’d like advice about or any questions. The lactation consultant is excellent and takes notes then facilitates conversation. I highly recommend joining! They also just started a Slack group to have discussion during the week.

PS- The best words of wisdom I heard was at my 6 week pp check up. My doctor said “it’s always breastfeeding.” Before birth women worry about pain , tearing, recovery, etc but after she said it’s always breastfeeding. It’s insane how romanticized breastfeeding is made out to be, and then after everyone is like oh yeah it’s hard as hell and it sucks! [/quote]
