Since the COVID pandemic, videoconferencing has become essential, and I particularly appreciate being able to conduct online lactation consultations and exchange with mothers from all over France, Corsica, and the entire world through telehealth!

The Gestalt approach consists of a step-by-step process explained to the mother with photos and a demonstration with a doll, so that she can modify the positions and reduce pain. While we often talk about helping the mother find an "instinctive position," in practice, after a month of intense pain, mothers need very concrete answers.

If you read this you might be an expat mum in France, possibly struggling with a little baby. Perhaps you’re trying to navigate breastfeeding or attempting to put your little one in the cot at night (spoiler: they prefer your arms!).
