Here at the Vancouver Breastfeeding Centre, we see patients referred to us for a variety of reasons. Most commonly these include:

 

• Excessive weight loss or slow weight gain in baby
• Poor Latch
• Low milk supply
• Mastitis
• Plugged ducts
• Painful Breasts & Nipples
• Induced Lactation
• Cleft lip or palate
• Breast Reduction/Augmentation
• Multiples
• Prenatal Counseling
• Tongue Tie
• Weaning/Return to Work

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.
