The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A breastfeeding nurse is a healthcare professional who has received specialized training to support mothers during the breastfeeding period. Usually they have a nursing background and hold international breastfeeding consultation (IBCLC) certification.

Main areas they provide support with:

  • Proper breastfeeding position and correct latch
  • Concerns about insufficient milk supply
  • Sore nipples, cracks, clogged milk ducts, and mastitis (breast inflammation)
  • Breastfeeding for premature or nursing-challenged babies
  • Medication use during breastfeeding
  • Milk expression and storage methods

In Turkey, some hospitals offer postpartum breastfeeding nurse services, and it's also possible to seek private consultation. Getting support from a breastfeeding nurse, especially in the first weeks, can be very helpful for a healthy breastfeeding journey.
