One thing I hear from far too many patients after delivery: **“I wish I had known this could make breastfeeding harder.”**
That’s the **prevention gap**.
Certain medical conditions and risk factors can make breastfeeding more challenging—but often, families don’t learn that until they’re already struggling.
What if we were more proactive?
If you’re expecting and have one of the conditions highlighted in this NABBLM post, consider scheduling a **preventive breastfeeding medicine visit before baby arrives.** We can review your individual risk factors, talk through what to expect, and make a plan for support before you need it.
Breastfeeding support shouldn’t begin only after there’s a problem. **Preparation is part of good postpartum care.**
Dr. Wofford Leong is board certified in both Family Medicine and Breastfeeding & Lactation Medicine, uniquely trained for the postpartum season of life.
**Special August offer:** Schedule your visit during the month of August to receive a $50 discount on first-time appointments, or $25 discount on follow-ups.

Breastfeeding and Lactation Medicine physicians are uniquely skilled to assess the birthing parent for medical conditions that put them at risk of low milk production, set up a plan to reach their goals, and manage the outcomes for both parent and child.
