Frequently Asked Questions
What does a breastfeeding counsellor do?
A Breastfeeding Counsellor assists
women who are wanting to breastfeed. You may be working with a
mother in late pregnancy to identify potential problems, with
women who have newborns and are experiencing difficulties, or
with women with older babies or children. |

A Breastfeeding Counsellor will encounter a range of problems and
challenges that may include:
-
women with positioning problems, pain on
breastfeeding or some of the common breastfeeding problems such as
thrush, engorgement and mastitis
-
women who are wanting to wean their babies from
breastfeeding to other alternatives
-
women who want to feed an adopted baby
-
women who are trying to increase their milk supply
-
women who wish to continue breastfeeding when they
are pregnant with another child
There are a whole host of situations that a Breastfeeding
Counsellor will come across. As a Childbirth International Breastfeeding
Counsellor you will gain knowledge and skills in helping women through
these problems, and also accumulate a comprehensive list of resources
for helping parents when their problems are more complicated than you
can assist with.
