Breastfeeding support, with a doctor’s eye.

An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant is the highest internationally recognised qualification in breastfeeding and lactation care. It requires extensive clinical hours, a rigorous exam and regular recertification by the IBLCE in the USA.

Lactation consultants are experts in feeding, but they cannot diagnose or treat medical problems. As a pediatrician I can also examine your baby, recognise medical causes behind feeding difficulties — such as jaundice, infections or slow weight gain — and coordinate with your other doctors. One visit covers both.

Ideally before your baby arrives, so we can make a plan together. After birth, the sooner the better — most difficulties are easiest to fix in the first days and weeks. You don’t need a referral.

Many families need only one or two visits. More complex situations — such as slow weight gain or low supply — usually benefit from two or three, which is why the Fourth trimester package exists.

For a first consultation in the early weeks, a home visit is often best — you stay comfortable and I see feeding in your real environment. Clinic visits suit older babies and planned consultations. Online consultations work well for follow-ups, pumping plans and prenatal preparation.

Yes. I can explain Hungarian medical documents and growth records in English, and — with your permission — share a written summary with your health visitor (védőnő) or pediatrician so everyone is working from the same plan.
