Initial consultations generally take 45-60 mins. and are covered under the Medical Services Plan. One of our five physicians will take a careful history and observe as you breastfeed your baby. Most babies will be weighed before and after each feed in order to get a sense of how much milk your baby is transferring while at the breast. Our aim is to identify and address the cause of your breastfeeding difficulties.
Please Note: Our Clinic is referral based, meaning that you require a referral form your care provider where indicated.
