- Developing a prenatal feeding plan
- Inducing lactation/ re-lactation
- Chestfeeding/ bodyfeeding
- Latch and related challenges
- Refusal to latch
- Milk supply concerns (low or high)
- Recurrent blocked ducts, mastitis or abscess
- Fuss/cry/sleep problems
- Tongue-tie evaluation and release
- Supplementation
- Nipple confusion and how to bottle-feed
- Exclusive pumping
- Transitioning to solids
- Weaning
To access the clinic a referral is required from a health care provider (nurse, midwife, physician or social worker). Providers can refer patients using the referral form. The clinic is located in Penticton, with virtual options for those living at a distance throughout British Columbia. Appointments are typically available within 1 week of referral. The Milk Clinic will follow families until concerns are resolved, will initiate further referrals as clinically indicated, and will send referrers updates as appropriate.
