✨We’re thrilled to introduce our new Breastfeeding Support Clinic at Proactive Pediatrics! ✨

This clinic is led by Valerie Warford, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with over 20 years of experience supporting families with breastfeeding, and Dr. Liam Fardy, Royal College Certified Pediatrician with a focus in newborn health.

Our priority is supporting the parent’s individual breastfeeding goals in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. We can help with:

🤱 Getting started with breastfeeding
🍼 Pumping & feeding plans
👅 Tongue tie assessment (with treatment available for some cases if medically indicated)
⚕️Managing complications & challenges

👉 Please note: two referrals are required to book an appointment. One referral for the breastfeeding parent and one referral for baby. Referrals can be provided by any physician or nurse practitioner. If you don’t have a primary care provider, reach out to us and we may be able to help!
