How to Book a Lactation Consultant Through Motherly

Steps to find and work with a certified lactation consultant in India.

  1. Identify your breastfeeding challenge

    Common reasons to see a lactation consultant: latch pain, low supply, engorgement, mastitis, baby not gaining weight, or returning to work.

  2. Book early

    Ideally schedule a lactation consultation for day 2–3 after delivery, before milk fully comes in.

  3. Browse Motherly verified consultants

    Use the Motherly app to find IBCLC-certified or trained lactation consultants available for home visits in your city.

  4. Follow the personalised plan

    Implement positioning adjustments, feeding schedules, and dietary recommendations from your consultant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a lactation consultant do?

A lactation consultant assesses latch quality, milk supply, feeding frequency, and baby weight gain, then provides a personalised breastfeeding support plan.

When should I call a lactation consultant?

Call a lactation consultant if you have persistent nipple pain, low milk supply, a baby struggling to latch, engorgement, mastitis, or a baby not regaining birth weight by 2 weeks.

Do lactation consultants do home visits in India?

Yes. Motherly's verified lactation consultants offer home visits across Chennai and other major Indian cities, as well as virtual consultations.

Is a lactation consultant different from a nurse?

Yes. A lactation consultant specialises exclusively in breastfeeding support. IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) is the gold standard credential.
