Consulta de Amamentação

This consultation is for mothers who are breastfeeding and for pregnant women who want to prepare for it before birth. The focus is on the mother-baby pair and takes each family's expectations and choices into account, without imposing a single way to breastfeed.

You can raise the most common difficulties — sore or cracked nipples, engorgement, questions about latch or sucking, or the feeling that your milk supply is not enough. If you wish, you can show a feed on camera so the professional can observe the latch and positioning; from that, and from your feeding and weight records, the guidance is adjusted and a plan is set for the days ahead.

A video consultation does not replace a physical exam: it cannot palpate the breast or weigh the baby accurately. If there are signs of mastitis that need examination and antibiotics, a suspected abscess, a need to assess tongue-tie, or insufficient weight gain that calls for serial weighing, the professional explains what is happening and refers you for an in-person assessment, arranging the next steps.

Signs of mastitis with high fever and malaise, or a baby who is unresponsive, has a dry nappy or refuses to feed, require in-person care or an urgent medical contact.
