You do not need all the answers before a breastfeeding consultation. Identifying your concerns and sharing the support you would like is enough to begin. This section helps you prepare your first message, questions and arrangements for an online or in-person conversation.
Choose two or three topics you most want to discuss. Describe your everyday experience with your baby and what you hope to gain from the consultation in your own words. You do not need technical terms or a detailed record file. Share only what is needed to arrange the consultation during first contact.
For an online consultation, clarify connection, timing and privacy; for an in-person consultation, clarify location and participation. Mention if you want a relative to join. This guide does not provide an individual feeding plan or product recommendations; it focuses on organising questions and finding suitable support. Explore consultation topics on the breastfeeding support page and ask about availability in Istanbul or elsewhere.
What should I write in my first message about breastfeeding support?
Briefly share what you hope to discuss, your city and whether you prefer an online or in-person meeting. We can then talk about the scope, timing and preparation together.
