My husband and I were very emotional about the fact that our new son was not latching on to my nipple and we were unable to breastfeed. Thankfully, Lori was our consultant in the hospital. Not only was she patient and understanding, she correctly diagnosed the problem within a few minutes. Read more from Amy

Do I Need a Breastfeeding Consult

If you are experiencing any of the following “red flags” listed below, you will greatly benefit from a private consultation. Breastfeeding should not be hurting. Not on Day 1 or Day 2 or Day 3. Your baby should be gaining weight after the 4th day of life and be back to birthweight by the time he is 2 weeks old. If your baby is not gaining appropriately, you will want to seek help immediately.

It is not normal to feel the need to pump because you are so engorged or because breastfeeding is hurting so much. This typically indicates that your baby may not be latching on properly. Sometimes mothers need more help then they can get from pictures or a book. There is no need for you to be at home frustrated with breastfeeding. GET HELP!

Signs that breastfeeding is not going well

1. Baby loses more than 10% of birthweight in the first 4 days.

2. Baby continues to lose weight after the 4^th day.

3. Baby is not back to birthweight at 2 weeks old.

4. Baby shows persistent hunger cues. Baby does not seem to be full

after most feedings at the breast.

5. Breastfeedings that take an hour or longer with baby not seeming full.

6. Your baby is either extremely fussy or excessively tired.

7 Your 4 day old baby has less than 4 soaking wet diapers and 3

quarter size yellow mustardy stools every 24 hours.

8. Mom needs to supplement because baby is not getting enough at

breast, or she is not making enough to meet baby's needs.

9. Mom needs to pump because it is too painful to breastfeed.

10. Mom needs to pump because she is not making enough milk.
