When to seek support from an IBCLC?
The best time to see an IBCLC is before or soon after the baby is born. Here are some key times to consider:
Before birth - prenatal consultation
Immediately after birth - within the first 2 days postpartum
Routinely at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 4 months, 6 months and 1 year
Most importantly - anytime you are concerned! “Your concern is my concern”
