It would be wise to see a Lactation Consultant under any of the following conditions:

Baby hasn't returned to his birth weight by 2 weeks
Breastfeeding is painful
Baby isn't satisfied or calm between feeds
Baby sleeps all the time (even while feeding)
Baby doesn't latch on to the breast
Baby doesn't make 3 wet (heavy) diapers a day by day 4
Baby's poo has not turned to yellow by day 5
Mom's nipples are very sore, cracked or damaged
Mom really wants to breastfeed but lacks information and instruction
Mom is concerned about breastfeeding and wants support and advice
