Our support services

Care for you and your baby, in one appointment

Every family who comes to the clinic sees both a lactation consultant and a pediatrician. You don't need separate visits.

Breastfeeding support

One-to-one help from Bianca Littlefield and Laura Goodfield, our International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC). They'll watch a full feed and work through what's getting in the way.

Newborn examination

Every baby seen at the clinic is examined by a pediatrician โ€” weight, growth, and a full head-to-toe check. If something needs following up, we'll arrange it.

Jaundice screening

Your baby's jaundice level is checked gently on the skin with a transcutaneous bilirubinometer. No needles, no waiting for lab results.

Weight & feeding checks

Worried your baby isn't gaining? We weigh before and after a feed so you can see how much milk your baby is actually taking.

Prenatal feeding chats

Still pregnant? You're welcome to come in before your baby arrives to talk through infant feeding and what to expect in the first weeks.

Follow-up visits

Feeding changes week to week. Come back as often as you need โ€” there's a short follow-up form so we can pick up where we left off.

You're not the only one

Most parents arrive with one of these

Almost everyone plans to breastfeed. Many find it harder than expected. That's not a failure โ€” it's just a sign you need someone to look at what's happening.

Whatever brought you here, you can bring it to the clinic. If breastfeeding turns out not to be the right fit for your family, we'll help you feed your baby safely and confidently another way.

We help with

  • Difficulty latching
  • Low milk supply
  • Slow weight gain
  • Breast or nipple pain
  • Engorgement and mastitis
  • Thrush
  • Tongue-tie
  • Jaundice
  • Twins and multiples
  • Any other feeding worry

However today went, you're welcome here

No referral. No fee. Bring your baby and your questions โ€” we'll take it from there.
