Melbourne Breasfeeding Clinic?

[minimatron]

Hi, in some last ditch efforts to have a successful breasfeeding relationship with dd3, I am looking at going to see a different LC. I was looking at the IBLC web site and saw that there is a breastfeeding clinic in Caulfield.

Has anyone been? If so whats it like? Is it a drop in centre? What kind of things do they do there? Is the LC good???

TIA
Melissa

Have you called your MCHN and asked what she has access to? Ours has a clinic she can refer us to. Are you an ABA member?

[minimatron]

and nope Im not a member.....

[Kazbah]

Maybe give the ABA a ring anyhows, they have heaps of resources...

The ABA will be happy to chat with you regardless of if you are a member or not.
Their website has all their numbers listed (the 1800 number as well as other local numbers)

There is a drop in centre in Dandenong, run by Yvette O'Dowd - she is an angel in disguise and has so many resources at her fingertips if the expertise isn't in her head!

Yes I met Yvette about 2 weeks ago at Dandenong. She is lovely and the drop in centre is fantastic too.
Ok.... so I have contacted my LC and she is coming over tomorrow to watch me feed Amy. I aso have a 2nd osteo appointment so am hoping that helps. I hate expressing! However I cant belive I have done i for 6 weeks

Well done on the expressing. I hate it too, and i'm not sure i'd have lasted that long.
Good luck with the LC tomorrow.
