Meadowvale Breastfeeding Walk In Clinic

Entire experience was amazing Our first child was having problems feeding and latching. We brought him in the day after he was released from the hospital. They were professional, discreet, knowledgeable and patient. This clinic and its staff saved our sanity after 12 hours of screaming. I recommend this to anyone who needs help like we did. Don't feel foolish or a failure to ask for help. Your baby is worth every second of your time.

My wife and I had our first child earlier this year. We've visited the Breastfeeding clinic on a number of occasions. Breastfeeding started out as a challenging experience but with the right support we've been able to feed our newborn. This is an amazing service provided by the Region of Peel and has given my wife the confidence to feed our little one as needed. Below is a list of Pros and areas for improvement that we wanted to highlight Pros - Service is free and completely covered - Staff is friendly, understanding, and willing to provide support. Also very knowledgeable with providing techniques which helps build confidence - Drop-In service - No appointment required - Facility is always clean and comfortable to breastfeed - Reception staff is always friendly and accommodating Areas for Improvement - Guidance from nurses / plans of action needs to be consistent - Depending on levels experience and opinion, sometimes received conflicting advice - Should be able to book appointments with a specific nurse if you have a preference for consistency and have built a level of comfort with a specific individual  - Always told to bring baby hungry but unable to determine what the wait time at the clinic is potentially causing a situation for an irritable baby and visit - Might be good if there was a direct number to call to determine the approx wait time Overall, this is an excellent service. The areas for improvement are just a few points that we think would make the Breastfeeding clinic even better than it already is. We hope you find this review helpful.

This place is a blessing in disguise especially for new mothers. The support provided to me at the hospital, home visit and at the clinic itself helped me breastfeed my little newborn successfully. I have mainly been helped by Dana and Jessica and the personal attention and care that these nurses provide is beyond description. They are extremely warm and a pleasure to meet every time. I love visiting this place for the confidence it has provided me in my journey as a new mother and there's always something new I learn every time I visit - about feeding techniques, healthy weight gain, baby's fussiness, etc. Even my baby enjoys being there - the ambience in the rooms is so comfortable that even she will feed like a champ when there and loves to explore the lights, posters on the walls and talking to the nurse. Highly recommend this place to all breastfeeding mothers.

I visited the clinic several times because my daughter was gaining weight a little too slow. The nurse (Tess) was so helpful and provided me with great support, and tools to use so that I was able to my daughter on breast milk as well as not having to offer a bottle yet. She was informative and took the time I needed to show me how to use the tools provided. On my next visit my daughter was gaining well! I recommend this clinic to ALL new moms. Breastfeeding can be challenging but the nurses will offer support to get you through it!

This is the most helpful place after delivering your baby... especially if it is your first one and you are a completely inexperienced person as me. I was so lucky to meet Sharon who came for the home visit after 4 days I left the hospital. She literally saved me because I faced many problems and she gave me the solution for each single one. She really cared about me and my little one. She thaught me how to handle my problems with breastfeeding and she supported me in a very difficult time. I highly recommend to get at the breastfeeding clinic as soon as you leave the hospital. They will teach you how to do it and will help you in case of necessity. I am very thankful to Sharon for all her support. She is just amazing!
