About this service
A registered nurse/lactation consultant at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) can provide you with breastfeeding support. They can help mothers and their babies who are having difficulty breastfeeding, or mothers needing reassurance about breastfeeding.
The lactation consultant is specially trained to help women in all kinds of breastfeeding situations, before and after the baby is born. Pregnant women who have flat, inverted, or dimpled nipples, or those who have had serious breastfeeding problems in the past can see the lactation consultant in order to prevent future breastfeeding problems. They can also help babies who are having problems associated with breastfeeding, such as slow weight gain, weak or inadequate suck, or genetic or physical problems that can affect breastfeeding.
