Frequently asked questions

Why is a postpartum breastfeeding consultation useful?

The first days and weeks after birth are decisive: latch, milk coming in and your baby’s adjustment often bring questions, worries or discomfort. The consultation gives you practical, informed and individual guidance to deal with them.

What is covered in the consultation?

Whatever you need to address what brought you to the consultation. Our attention is on your questions, worries and fears. If you like, bring your questions written down so we can go through them together.

Does the consultation guarantee that breastfeeding will go well?

There is no guarantee, because every mother and every baby is different. The consultation helps you answer questions, adjust the latch, understand your baby’s behaviour and make decisions with more confidence.

When should I book?

As soon as questions, discomfort or uncertainty come up, or whenever you feel you need support, guidance or to review what you are doing.

How long does it last?

The first consultation lasts about 90 minutes. If useful, you can then book a follow-up consultation of about 60 minutes.

Can the consultation take place at home?

Yes. It can take place at MaterClinic, in Charneca de Caparica, or in your home.

I have another question. How can I reach you?

Cláudia Agostinho

Specialist Nurse in Maternal and Obstetric Health and Founder of MaterClinic®

Cláudia Agostinho is a mother of four and also has a stepdaughter. Motherhood deepened her commitment to caring for others and brought greater clarity to the professional path she wanted to follow.

After specialising in Maternal and Obstetric Health Nursing, she founded MaterClinic®, a healthcare space created to support families through knowledge, personal care and respect for their choices.

She is also a Breastfeeding Counsellor, holds a postgraduate specialisation in the Psychology of Pregnancy and Parenthood, and has completed training as a GentleBirth instructor. These qualifications form part of a professional journey guided by one constant question: what evidence supports the guidance we give to families?

She is currently completing a programme in Evidence-Based Practice, further developing her skills in research, critical appraisal and the application of scientific literature. This enables her to assess the quality of health information independently and translate scientific knowledge into clear, rigorous guidance and educational content adapted to the reality of each family.

Through her clinical practice, she helps parents understand their children’s needs and trust their own ability to make decisions. She believes that reliable information, careful listening and individualised support allow each family to find the answers that work for them, with greater confidence and autonomy.
