Receiving expert lactation care as soon as possible is important for several reasons:

1. Establishing and maintaining milk supply: Early intervention can help address any potential issues or challenges in establishing milk supply. Getting support and guidance from a lactation care provider can ensure effective breastfeeding techniques, proper latch, and optimal milk production.
2. Resolving breastfeeding difficulties: Lactation care can help in identifying and addressing any difficulties or pain during breastfeeding. This can include issues such as nipple soreness, engorgement, mastitis, or blocked ducts. Early intervention can prevent these problems from escalating and help mothers continue to breastfeed successfully.
3. Promoting bonding and attachment: Breastfeeding is not only a source of nutrition but also a way to bond and form a strong emotional connection between the mother and the infant. By receiving lactation support early on, mothers can ensure a positive and enjoyable breastfeeding experience, which can enhance bonding and attachment.
    
4. Preventing breastfeeding complications: Early lactation care can help prevent or manage complications like low milk supply, milk transfer issues, or breastfeeding difficulties due to tongue-tie or lip-tie. Timely intervention can improve the overall breastfeeding experience and reduce the risk of complications.
    
5. Improving maternal and infant health outcomes: Breastfeeding has numerous health benefits for both the mother and the infant. It can reduce the risk of infections and diseases for the baby, including respiratory illnesses, gastrointestinal infections, and allergies. For the mother, breastfeeding can decrease the risk of postpartum bleeding, lower the risk of certain cancers, and promote faster recovery post-delivery. Access to timely lactation care can support the successful initiation and continuation of breastfeeding, leading to improved health outcomes for both.
     

Overall, receiving lactation care as soon as possible is crucial to overcome any challenges, ensure a successful breastfeeding journey, and promote the health and well-being of both the mother and the infant.
