The Royal Women's Hospital offers education and support to families who are experiencing breastfeeding problems, including day admissions.
|
Referrals to our Breastfeeding Education & Support Services are not necessary.
|
Our service caters for breastfeeding mothers and babies up to three months. Unfortunately, partners (and other children) are not able to be accommodated due to space constraints and privacy issues. However, we are happy to meet with partners at the end of the day stay appointment to work through the lactation plan together.
|
Our Breastfeeding Education & Support Service is staffed by experienced, internationally certified lactation consultants.
|
Telephone consultations with the duty lactation consultant are available, from 8.30 am to 4 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.
