The fourth trimester marks the transition from pregnancy to parenthood. Sally MacFadyen (IBCLC, CD, CCE) is a lactation consultant, birth doula, and childbirth educator. She is a mother of two, and she started working with mothers as a La Leche League leader in 1993 and then IBCLC in 2001. She has found her calling to help women and families. Sally believes in "meeting people where they are" and helping them reach their goals with support, compassion, and understanding. She provides services in-home, online, and office visits at Eastern View Integrative Medicine (Maitri building).
A lactation consultant is more than just a specialist in infant feeding. She is your dedicated partner in the breastfeeding journey, providing the help and support you need to enjoy breastfeeding and working with you to resolve any possible problems. As she does this, she will also share her wealth of knowledge about newborn and infant care, empowering you to make informed decisions for your baby's health.
While breastfeeding is a natural process, it is not instinctive. The mother and baby learn how to breastfeed together. In some societies, a breastfeeding woman is a common sight; women learn by growing up in this environment. However, in our society, many new mothers have never held a newborn infant before having their own child and are unfamiliar with breastfeeding. This is where a lactation consultant plays a crucial role, helping new moms develop the skills needed for successful breastfeeding. A visit with a lactation consultant can be helpful if you have questions and need some reassurance.
Breastfeeding can have its challenges, such as engorgement, plugged ducts, mastitis prevention, sore nipples, cracked nipples, and poor infant weight gain.
