SMH-Sarasota Latch Clinic

Maternal health specialists at Sarasota Memorial Hospital lead this focused clinical session to assist mothers encountering difficulties with breastfeeding. Designed as a practical intervention rather than a general support group, the clinic allows women to work directly with certified lactation consultants to correct painful latches, assess milk transfer, and establish comfortable nursing positions. The experts provide individualized assessments for each mother-infant pair, offering concrete strategies to overcome anatomical challenges or supply anxieties. The targeted guidance ensures that new parents leave with a functional, sustainable feeding plan, reducing the frustration often associated with early infant nutrition and reinforcing maternal confidence.
