No disagreement here! An oral exam should be a part of each and every consultation. Remembering that it is a three part assessment: physical exam and visual assessment, mother & baby symptoms, combined with the ability to function to do the job of breastfeeding!
You can’t just count on weight gain, you can’t just count on milk transfer. It is much more complicated to assess and is why an experienced IBCLC is needed.
If you are experiencing difficulties with breastfeeding:
1. Painful latch
2. Difficulty latching, maintaining the latch
3. Slow or absent weight gain
Please find an experienced IBCLC to help you navigate this difficult territory and guide you through this journey.
