Our service caters for breastfeeding mothers and babies up to three months. Partners (and other children) are are not able to be accommodated due to space constraints and privacy rissues.
Our Breastfeeding Education & Support Services is staffed by experienced, internationally certified lactation consultants.
Telephone consultations with the duty lactation consultant are available, from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm Monday to Friday.
We also offer an outpatient clinic on Friday afternoons for short visits to either the lactation consultant or the consultant general practitioner.
Bookings are essential.
