For parents who have experienced latch difficulties with previous children, are there any preventive measures to consider for 2nd or 3rd pregnancy?

Hi Gabrielle! I hear that you are concerned about breastfeeding challenges for the 2nd or even 3rd child. At Hegen Lactation Centre, we strongly advocate mothers to take breastfeeding in a positive light, day by day. Every child is different and unique, and as parents, we seek to understand life through our interactions with each of them. One way to prepare ourselves before birth is to attend an antenatal class that focuses on breastfeeding, or have a consultation with a IBCLC. You can share your previous experiences with breastfeeding, and with her help, you may be able to identify some blindspots you can overcome when your second child is born. For many mothers, having gained the experience the first time, they often feel more ready and at ease the second time. That translates to confidence, which allows them to undertake breastfeeding more readily. So, mental and emotional preparation is quite key to breastfeeding success. All the best, Gabrielle!
