Breastfeeding at the Brantford General

Breastfeeding is the best choice for the health of almost all mothers and infants. We can help you learn all you need to know to make this experience a successful one.

We have nurses on staff who are certified in breastfeeding  and/or are lactation consultants. When they are on duty, patients can request access to our three lactation consultants. We welcome any questions.

Starting out?

•  Learn about breastfeeding before baby arrives. Take a class, attend a LaLeche League meeting, read books or view a video

•  Put your baby to breast as soon as possible after delivery and as often as possible in the first few weeks.

•  The more you breastfeed, the more milk there will be

•  Seek help for success
