Looking at mother and baby together

Breastfeeding problems are rarely solved by looking at only one part of the feeding process. We consider how baby is feeding, how mother is coping and whether baby's growth supports the overall picture. Sometimes a small adjustment is enough. Other situations may require additional medical care.

When referral is needed

If treatment or more assessment is needed, we will refer you appropriately.
