Our philosophy and approach is simple:

To provide new mothers with the knowledge and support required to optimize their own breastfeeding goals.

We can help mothers and babies by:

• Providing prenatal information and counselling to ensure that babies and moms get the best start!
• Assessing latch or helping to establish a latch in a baby that is not yet latching
• Assessing milk transfer and helping to determine if low milk supply or flow is a problem
Diagnosing possible causes for nipple pain and/ or breast pain
• Determining contributing factors when a breastfed baby is slow to gain weight
• Helping to determine possible reasons for a fussy breastfed baby
• Providing information to help mothers understand early feeding cues
• Assisting with breastfeeding for twins
• Determining factors associated with older babies who start refusing or pulling at the breast

At your visit:

• Initial assessments are comprehensive and may take up to 1.5 hours.
• In addition to taking a full history and examining your baby, we also observe a feeding and provide suggestions to address your concerns.
• Visits are fully covered by OHIP.
