The Women's Clinic provided great lactation consultant support after both of my pregnancies. They gave me the extra reassurance that my babies were getting enough milk and that everything was okay. The service I used most here is the ability to drop in any day and weigh my babies for free. I liked to do that just for baby book records, but its also reassuring that they are growing in between monthly and bi-monthly doctor visits. The shop has a good selection of supplies for the nursing mom.

Pump rental weekly or monthly with a very supportive knowledgeable staff. Great selection of nursing bra's and tops as well as other neccessities.

the staff and nurses there are very nice and helpful. BUT, be forewarned - they are all VERY PRO-BREASTFEEDING all the way. At some points, I really felt like they were making me feel inadequate b/c I wouldn't/couldn't devote my son to 100% breast and instead opted to do half and half. (Though their intentions are good, I think that they lose sight of fact that everyone is different - for example, my son just HATED breastfeeding - he preferred bottle, so I would have to pump, then pour into bottle to feed. I kept trying to get him directly to breast but he would twist,turn, cry push away, etc., but totally happy and chugging via bottle. So, I did half formula, half pumping into bottle.)

quote*****_FZ: Very helpful lactation consultants, available by phone and in-person. Proceeds from the great gift shop help to fund the program.
