BREASTFEEDING ASSESMENT
How this Works…
Things to bring:
- Yourself and your baby. Comfortable clothes for breastfeeding.
- It is very important that the baby feeds during the consultation, so please make sure you bring him or her hungry!
- Your partner or one other person of support is welcome to come.
- If at this point you are feeding your infant any supplements, please bring some along (whether it be expressed breastmilk or infant formula).
- If your baby is not gaining the expected weight, please bring along any recorded weights you have written down since your baby´s birth.
- If you are having difficulties using your breastmilk pump, please bring it along and we´ll check it out together.
What we will do:
- The consultation will be about one hour long, the cost is 80 €.
- The doctor will do a detailed clinical history – questions about your general health, your pregnancy, birth and your current breastfeeding difficulties or doubts.
- Then she will do a physical examn of your infant, your breasts if necessary, and she will observe your baby feed.
- After all this assesment, she will propose strategies to improve your situation and answer all your questions.
- Dr Baeza and Dr de Alba are clinical professors, so there may be a student with them. You may of course refuse for the student to be in your consultation. Students are healthcare professionals aiming to acquire breastfeeding support skills. Currently due to COVID restrictions, there are no students.
- After the consultation, you will receive a clinical report with all the information of your visit, as well as a clear treatment and follow-up care plan
- E-mail follow-up is included with the payment for the first visit.
