Lactation Consultants provide assessments and guidance to mothers through all aspects of breastfeeding both in-centre and in the privacy of your own home. They work with parents to set realistic feeding expectations, address practical issues, and leave you with strategies for a way forward.
Whichever your location preference, your Lactation Consultant will help you achieve your breastfeeding and mothering goals with confidence.
