Frequently asked questions

As soon as the question comes up — there is no need to wait for things to get bad. The most common reasons: painful breastfeeding or a damaged nipple, the baby not gaining enough weight, worrying about low milk supply, hard and engorged breasts, a baby who cannot or will not latch, starting solids, and organising pumping and the return to work. A difficulty spotted in the first days is far easier to resolve than one that has lasted for weeks.

We start by talking: where you are, what the difficulty is, what you have already tried. Then — if we meet in person — we watch a full feed together: the latch, the way the baby sucks, the positions. At the end we put together a concrete plan you can follow at home, and we agree on what will tell you it is working. You also receive the key points in writing afterwards.

It depends on the package, typically 60–90 minutes. The exact length is listed on each package page. A first meeting is always longer, because we go through the whole history; a follow-up session is shorter.

Nothing special. What helps: the health record or the weight gain figures, your breast pump and bottle if you use them, and anything you currently give the baby. It is best if the baby is a little hungry when we meet — that way we can watch a real feed together.

Yes, and it is genuinely good if they are. Breastfeeding is a family matter: whoever hears the answers will not be giving advice out of their own uncertainty later on. At a home visit this is natural, but you are welcome to bring anyone to the practice or to the video call as well.

Yes. The practice is in Gárdony, but I travel to the villages around Lake Velence, to Székesfehérvár and to the surrounding settlements. Breastfeeding is settled where it actually happens: in your own armchair, with your own pillows — which is why a home consultation often gives more than a visit to the practice. If your town is not on the list, just call and we will work it out.

In person I can also help with my hands: I can see and correct the latch, look at the breast, the baby's mouth and the position. An online consultation is strong where the question is about planning or a decision: pumping, storage, starting solids, weaning, returning to work, or when you simply need a quick, reassuring answer. If you are unsure which one you need, call me and I will tell you.

Over a video call, from home. You receive the details in your booking confirmation, and before the call we agree on whichever app is most convenient for you. Online counselling is available from anywhere in Hungary, and from abroad too.

On this site, in a few steps: pick the package, the day and a free slot, give your contact details — and the confirmation arrives by e-mail straight away. If you would rather not book online, call +36 30 346 0101 or ask for a callback and I will contact you.

It differs by package; the prices are shown on the packages page in Hungarian forints, and the price valid at the moment of booking applies. Some packages are priced individually — there we agree before the booking. For a home consultation we discuss the travel in advance, so nothing comes as a surprise.

You can pay by card online during the booking (payments are handled by Barion Payment Zrt.; I never see your card details), by cash or card at the consultation, or by bank transfer or Revolut. If an online payment is interrupted, your appointment stays: you can retry it from the confirmation page, or settle it in person.

Yes, free of charge until the consultation starts. Your confirmation e-mail contains a cancellation link, so it takes one click and no login. If you have already paid, I refund the full amount within 14 days of the cancellation at the latest, using the same payment method.

It is a short questionnaire about the history: the birth, the baby's weight, how feeding has gone so far. It helps a great deal, because the first quarter of an hour of our meeting is then not spent collecting data but already working on the solution. You can fill it in before booking, from the menu, or later using the personal link in your confirmation e-mail.

Yes, there is a gift voucher. After payment it arrives by e-mail with a unique code, it can be redeemed for any vedonom.hu service, and it can be passed on. As a baby shower present it is the most useful thing you can give a family that is expecting.

Most of the time it is not. A soft breast, frequent feeding, evening fussiness and getting little milk when pumping can all be normal, and yet these are what make most mothers stop. What actually tells us something: weight gain and the number of wet and dirty nappies. We go through this together, and if it turns out the supply really is low, then we have work to do — but at least on the real cause.

Some tenderness in the first days, yes; lasting pain, no. Pain almost always signals something: the latch, the way the baby's mouth works, a wound or an inflammation. You do not have to endure it and you do not have to get used to it — this is the situation where it is worth asking for help soonest, because that is when it is easiest to put right.

Usually quite the opposite: emptying the breast is part of getting better. But if you have a fever, if you feel unwell, or if the symptoms do not improve within a day, you need to see a doctor — antibiotics may be needed, and there are ones that can be taken while breastfeeding. Continuing to feed and keeping the breast emptied can be supported throughout.

The WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding to six months, then continued breastfeeding alongside appropriate complementary foods to the age of two or beyond — as long as it works for you and the baby. There is no age at which it is "no longer worth it", and no point from which you cannot either return to breastfeeding or wean calmly and gradually.

Yes. Starting solids, first tastes, amounts, fitting meals and feeds together, and gradual, painless weaning are all questions I am asked often. These are not "the end of breastfeeding" topics — they are the next stages of the same process.
