Our lactation consultants
The team of lactation consultants at the Baby Lis Hotel is a team of consultants with exclusive and international certification by the IBCLC, that is recognized worldwide. The team supports the mothers with personal/individual counseling in the mother’s room, 7 days a week, while listening, personalizing and providing support during the initial stages of breastfeeding. We know and believe that the support should be personal, and it is personalized for each mother since each one faces a different experience and has differing needs after giving birth. Further, our team of lactation consultants will support the mother in a group setting in the room designated for nursing, which is adapted for breastfeeding in a calm, balanced and pleasant environment. There, you will receive advice regarding breastfeeding, pumping milk, types of pumps, and customization thereof, and of course you will enjoy a cooperative discussion with other mothers who are also breastfeeding. We know and believe that the first few days of breastfeeding after giving birth can be complex, sometimes painful, and can even frustrating. So, the support of lactation counseling is one of the most important, supportive and inclusive things any mother needs, if she is choosing to breastfeed.
From the moment you arrive at the Baby Lis Hotel, the reception staff will make an appointment for you with a lactation consultant at a time that suits you.
A mother who is trying to breastfeed is overwhelmed with questions, including: Is the baby getting enough? What is colostrum? What do I need to eat to produce enough milk?
The recommendation of the World Health Organization is exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of the baby’s life. However, it is important for us to note that the decision of whether to breastfeed your new baby is a personal one. Neither the medical staff nor the lactation counselors have any interest in affecting your decision in any way.
