About this clinic 

The Breastfeeding Medicine Clinic is a referral-based clinic for new parents and their babies with breastfeeding concerns.

There, a physician can support you with specific procedures and medications to help increase your supply or to treat any infections.

For more information about the maternity services and supports we offer, please see our having a baby page.

Monday & Friday
8:30 a.m. — 4:00 p.m.

Closed on statutory holidays.

A physician referral is required. Physicians, please fax your completed referral to 604-806-9081. Because of high demand for outpatient consults, first priority will be given to patients who delivered at St. Paul’s Hospital.

Advances in treatments are all thanks to medical research. While participating in research is a decision you should make for yourself in consultation with your care team, there is much activity in this area so please ask us about our research programs if you’re interested.

By taking part in research, you can help us all learn more about advancing health outcomes and find better ways to help people live and thrive. While you cannot assume benefit to yourself, your participation can make a difference in improving care for future patients.

The following clinical trials are currently enrolling volunteers. Please ask your care team for more information or contact the research team listed on each study or trial. For other information about research at Providence Health Care, please visit Providence Research.
