Breastfeeding Support Consultation

Breastfeeding is a natural process, but it's not always a linear journey. At ruut, we believe that breastfeeding should not be synonymous with pain or anguish. That's why we've created a specialized consultation service to support each dyad (mother and baby) on their unique journey, respecting their rhythms and choices.

Whether you're preparing for your baby's arrival, facing initial challenges, or planning your return to work, our consultation offers the technical and emotional support you need to experience this bond with serenity.

How can we help you?

Our consultations are designed to address the most common issues and specific challenges of breastfeeding:

• Preparation during Pregnancy: Clarification of doubts and strategies for a smoother start to breastfeeding.

• Latch and Positioning Assessment: Fundamental adjustments to ensure the mother's comfort and effective milk transfer to the baby.

• Management of Common Challenges: Support in situations of breastfeeding pain, cracked nipples, engorgement, or mastitis.

• Weight Gain Monitoring: Strategies to optimize breastfeeding when there are doubts about the baby's satiety.

• Breastfeeding and Return to Work: Planning for breast milk expression and storage.

• Guided Weaning: Support for a gradual and respectful weaning process for both.

What to expect from a consultation at ruut?

In a calm and unhurried environment in Aveiro, our specialist will conduct a detailed observation of the feeding, assess the baby's oral anatomy, and above all, listen to your concerns. The goal is to develop a personalized action plan that restores your confidence.

Service Details:

• Approximate duration: 60 to 90 minutes.

• Location: ruut physical store in Aveiro (or at home, upon request).

ruut's Tip: Often, a small adjustment in position or latch is enough to transform the breastfeeding experience. If you feel you need help, don't wait for the pain to worsen. We are here to support you and ensure that your focus is solely on the bond with your baby.
