Nutrition Counseling And Lactation Consulting
Nutrition Counselling
You are what you eat. We’ve all heard that old saying. But what does it mean for our teeth and oral health? In keeping with our philosophy of holistic care, we understand that nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining, not only our general health but our oral health as well. We can offer our patients the counseling they need to get their oral and overall health on track and maintain it for years to come.
Lactation Consulting
All newborn babies latch on right away, and nursing always goes smoothly, right? It comes naturally to many babies, but sometimes things don’t work quite as they should. Emotions and hormones are out of control while you are trying to nurse your baby. Sometimes, the combination of how you are feeling and frustration with difficulty nursing is too much to handle on your own.
If you are having nursing issues, we can help. Oral development begins in the womb, and nursing issues can be a sign of improper development. We know you want to give your baby a head start when it comes to their oral health, and you want to commit to nursing. Don’t let the difficulties that may arise get in the way of that, and don’t let them frustrate you. We are here to provide support and guidance.
There are several common nursing issues that we can help with.
For the baby:
- Slow weight gain
- Difficulty latching
- Falling asleep while nursing
- Reflux and gassy belly
For the mom:
- Sore or cracked nipples
- Pain during nursing
- Low supply
- Mastitis
Our certified lactation consultant will work with you and your baby to make sure you are both comfortable and, most importantly, that your baby is getting the nourishment they need to grow and be healthy.
