Breastfeeding Consultations

Lactation consultations are also offered through our telehealth services, where you can receive face-to-face breastfeeding support through an app on your smartphone, computer, or tablet.

Many of our patients prefer the convenience of this type of support, which allows them to receive expert advice while with their newborn and in the comfort of their own home. These consultations are available 24 hours a day, by appointment.
