Where can I find a lactation consultant in Luxembourg, and how do I book one?

You have several official and non-profit options, and some are free or covered by the CNS.

• Maternity hospitals: the Ministry of Health's breastfeeding leaflet lists breastfeeding or lactation consultation contacts at the CHEM, CHdN and HRS maternities, and a perinatal centre contact at the CHL. Ask your maternity's antenatal or postnatal team how to book.
• Your midwife: an independent midwife's breastfeeding support is covered by the CNS at 100%. For breastfeeding or feeding difficulties, this means up to three visits for a baby under 9 months and, since 1 September 2026, up to three more for a child aged 9 months to 2 years.
• Initiativ Liewensufank: this non-profit runs the Baby Hotline, a free and anonymous phone advice service. It also offers individual breastfeeding consultations, including support at home.
• La Leche League Luxembourg: breastfeeding information, advice and meeting groups for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
• The Luxembourg midwives' association (ALSF) also gives breastfeeding information.

The Ministry of Health lists these associations on its breastfeeding help page (opens in a new tab).

To book, call the service directly: maternity consultations go through the hospital's maternity or outpatient department, and midwives arrange visits with you. If breastfeeding is painful, your baby is not feeding well or you feel unwell, contact your midwife, paediatrician or doctor.
