Pets are fine to have present at the consultation provided they do not: Excessively bark, growl, jump, get on equipment or in the way during the consultation. If your pet has difficulty with the above mentioned please place them away during the consultation.

Mother and babies experience different breastfeeding challenges that require specific levels of care. If the feeding challenge is more complex or requires follow up consultation(s), you will be notified of that recommendation during the consultation.
