Information
At GYN MEDICO, we provide comprehensive care for expectant and new mothers, and that includes individual breastfeeding consultations. In a private session with an experienced midwife, clients can discuss important questions related to breastfeeding and practise the correct techniques for nursing and expressing milk. The individual approach and the calm, fully discreet environment of the clinic make it easy to ask anything freely and confidently. Breastfeeding consultations are available both during pregnancy and after birth.
Why breastfeeding support matters
Breast milk is the best nutrition for a baby, and most mothers want to provide their child with an adequate supply. This can come with certain challenges, such as difficulties in the early stages of breastfeeding or finding the right technique. Many of these challenges can be addressed with the help of a breastfeeding consultation, which supports physiologically correct nursing and healthy milk production.
Breastfeeding consultation during pregnancy
Breastfeeding consultations are available during pregnancy and form one of the sessions in our antenatal preparation course. You can choose to attend the full course or book just the breastfeeding session. Each session is individual, attended by one mother and her companion only. This gives you the opportunity to gather reliable information and learn breastfeeding techniques before your baby arrives, helping to build your confidence as a future nursing mother.
Breastfeeding consultation after birth
After birth, you are welcome to attend with your baby and your partner for support. The consultation is again individual and is open to anyone who:
- wants to prevent breastfeeding difficulties before they arise
- is experiencing challenges in the early stages of breastfeeding
- wants to increase or maintain milk supply
- needs to learn or improve the correct breastfeeding technique
- is unsure whether their baby is getting enough milk and thriving
- wants to learn how to express and store breast milk
- would like to explore alternative feeding methods
- wants advice on nutrition during breastfeeding
- needs guidance on introducing solid foods
- is considering stopping breastfeeding
We also offer breast pump hire for mothers who need it. You can also purchase high-quality breastfeeding accessories from Medela directly at our clinic.
How to book a breastfeeding consultation
If you would like a breastfeeding consultation during pregnancy, the ideal time to enrol in the antenatal preparation course is between weeks 20 and 28 of pregnancy, though you are welcome to join at any point. After birth, you can contact us at any stage of your breastfeeding journey, even if you are not yet a client of our clinic. To book, call us on +420 225 990 999, use the contact form, or send us an email at recepce@gynmedico.cz.
