Breastfeeding support
Breastfeeding your baby can be difficult for many mothers. Epworth Maternity lactation consultants can help you.
If you choose to breastfeed your baby, rest assured that our midwives are here to support you and your baby learn this new skill. If you need additional support, then one of our highly skilled lactation consultants will be able to help with a personal consultation.
They can help with issues including:
- Understanding baby cues
- Positioning and attachment
- Over or under supply
- Mastitis
- Feeding twins
Once you go home, you will still have the option of a follow up consultation with an Epworth lactation consultant.
If you have any breastfeeding concerns or you would like to book a consultation, please contact our breastfeeding clinic.
