Virtual Breastfeeding Consultation (NZ-Wide)
IBCLC breastfeeding support via Zoom — wherever you are in New Zealand.
If you’re unable to attend a home visit or live outside Christchurch, a virtual lactation consultation is an effective and flexible way to receive expert breastfeeding support from an IBCLC-qualified lactation consultant.
Virtual consults are ideal for families seeking timely, professional help from the comfort of home — no travel, no stress.
❤️ What Happens During Your Virtual Consultation
Your session includes:
- Discussion of your feeding history and current concerns
- Observation of breastfeeding or bottle feeding (via camera)
- Oral function screening (as much as can be assessed virtually)

- Review of your pumping or mixed feeding routine
- Guidance for nipple pain, latch difficulty, milk supply issues, or bottle refusal
