Grow Lactation Consulting

Moms put in work! Thank you, Latched Mama.

No pinching! No pain! Breastfeeding should be comfortable.

This is a very nice visual of positioning your baby onto your breast for an effective feed.

Parents and caregivers evacuating with young children have extra concerns. While we encourage everyone to monitor and heed instructions from emergency authorities, those who are pregnant or who have young children have to plan ahead. Don't put off leaving and give yourself as much time as possible to prepare and travel. Do you have questions about what you need to pack, worries about breastfeeding or how to feed your baby while you are away from home?

Our volunteers are ready to answer questions and to refer you to local services for more help. Message us, email ([email protected]) or call our hotline at 1-833-225-3330.

Donor Human Milk Should Become The First Option For Babies Who Need Supplementation Case studies show that using small amounts of DHM instead of formula reduces hospital stay and supports breastfeeding, by feeling like a bridge for mums to establishing their own supply.

Human Milk is SOOO Amazing!

DID YOU KNOW ...

That 1 in 8 babies in Canada are born premature. Receiving pasteurized donor human milk (DHM) when mom's own milk isn't available decreases a premature baby's risk of contracting NEC (Necrotizing Enterocolitis), allowing them to go home sooner. ❤️
