The Richmond Breastfeeding Centre is a Rapid Access Referral Clinic staffed by Registered Midwives who specialize in lactation consultation.
Staff at the Richmond Breastfeeding Centre conduct a thorough assessment and diagnosis of infant feeding problems and collaborate with families to develop an individualized plan to help overcome feeding challenges. Services are fully covered by MSP if a referral is made by a Midwife, Physician, Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner or Registered Social Worker and the baby is under 6 weeks old.
This clinic provides lactation medicine breastfeeding/chest feeding information for all infant feeding. Formula feeding families are welcome too! Also offers prenatal education and preparation for breastfeeding/chest feeding.
For MSP covered lactation consultations, the appointment MUST occur within 6 weeks, or 42 days of the birth of the newborn. This is the same for term or preterm births.
