Find Compassionate Support at the Vancouver Breastfeeding Clinic
Throughout your pregnancy, you are going to hear all about the benefits of breastfeeding. One thing you might not hear about, however, is the fact that it can often be a deeply frustrating experience. Most parents are going to struggle at some point throughout their breastfeeding journey. If you don’t have initial problems with the latch or supply, you are still likely going to battle with clogged ducts and weaning. The best thing you can do for yourself and for your baby is find a professional who will be there to guide you through it all. As a Vancouver family photographer, I get the chance to connect with parents who have gone through this exact experience. If you have a second, let me tell you why I think you need the Vancouver Breastfeeding Clinic in your life!

Vancouver Breastfeeding Clinic is a practice with two exceptional lactation consultants at the helm. Both Mitra and Aradhna have spent over a decade working with women across the city to have the best start with breastfeeding. In addition to their work at the clinic, they both have privileges at St. Paul’s Hospital, helping new moms as they go through those early feedings. They are going to make sure that you feel confident and have all the assistance you need for a happier experience.
Vancouver Breastfeeding Clinic can start with services right from the very beginning. You will be able to choose between in-office visits or home visits. With the home visits, you will have the advantage of showing what your breastfeeding approach actually looks like so they can get a better understanding. During this time, they will assess a feeding so they can look for reasons why you might be struggling. The consultants are experts when it comes to concerns such as poor positioning, low milk supply/oversupply, breast engorgement, sore nipples, tongue tie, breast pain, and thrush. They will work with you to recognize a good latch, build up a milk supply, and resolve issues such as colic and gassiness. Throughout the entire process, you can count on compassionate care from an expert ready to listen to all of your concerns.
While many people wait to see a lactation consultant following delivery, the team at Vancouver Breastfeeding Clinic can meet with you well before your baby is born. You can chat about things like preparing to nurse, how skin-to-skin can help you with breastfeeding, and what to expect during those initial nursing sessions. They also have a postpartum clinic that you can enroll in throughout pregnancy as well as the first few weeks following birth. They will help you on the road to recovery and make sure you feel confident while breastfeeding.
With Vancouver Breastfeeding Clinic, you can have lactation assistance that is completely tailored to your needs. Be sure to check them out soon so you can get help!
