Absolute Medical Centre

60 Main Street East, Grimsby ON

Breastfeeding & Infant Feeding Support for Niagara, Hamilton, and Haldimand families.

At Absolute Medical Centre – Paediatric Group, I am one of two lactation consultants providing dedicated support for families through in-clinic visits, in collaboration with AMC’s paediatricians.

Appointments are 30–50 minutes and tailored to your family’s needs. Together, we will address a wide range of feeding concerns, including:

  • Reassurance that breastfeeding is going well

  • Weight loss or slow weight gain

  • Painful latch

  • Low or oversupply of milk

  • Mastitis or breast pain

  • Tongue-tie and other oral restrictions

  • Transitioning from NICU to home

Coverage: Visits are fully OHIP-covered with a referral from your baby’s health care provider or public health nurse.
