Ideally, this consultation would take place several months before the baby is born, although that is not mandatory.
What Takes Place at an Inducing Lactation Consultation?
A personalized plan of care will be created for the breast/chestfeeding parent (and partner) based on which methods they would like to try to induce lactation, both before the baby is born, as well as after.
