Breastfeeding is not always easy.  When things are not going the way you had hoped, The Newman Breastfeeding Clinic is here to help.  Established in 1984 by Dr. Jack Newman and located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the clinic provides breastfeeding care and support to more than 2,000 families every year.

 

The Newman Breastfeeding Clinic is a supportive, inclusive, safe, and judgement-free space.  When you come to the clinic you will have a one-on-one appointment with one of our extensively trained International Board Certified Lactation Consultants.  She will listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and guide you in achieving an optimal latch and efficient feeding.  Your baby will be examined by one of our Pediatricians, including an assessment for tongue and lip-tie.  Together, your Lactation Consultant and Pediatrician will develop a unique care plan that takes into account your needs and breastfeeding goals.

 

The Newman Breastfeeding Clinic provides assessment, treatment, and support for any breastfeeding concern, including:

  • Fussiness or sleepiness at the breast
  • Frequent feedings
  • Long feedings
  • Low milk supply
  • Slow weight gain
  • Nipple pain and breast pain
  • Blocked ducts, mastitis, and breast abscess
  • Babies who are not yet latching or refuse the breast
  • Tongue-ties and lip-ties (assessment and treatment)
  • Inducing lactation and re-lactation
  • Breastfeeding an adopted baby or baby born by gestational carrier

 

We are happy to work with babies/toddlers of any age!

Stories and Thanks from our Patients and Colleagues

  • I just wanted to thank your clinic for all they did for us. We had such a hard first 8 weeks... We are back in Newfoundland now and your clinic gave me the confidence I needed to keep breastfeeding on my own... for as many years as my son wants! Thank you so much for everything!

    - K.L.

  • I would like to thank you for encouraging me to make the trip. It was a FANTASTIC experience. The best part aside from the expertise and knowledge, was that for the first time I felt listened to.

    - J.G.

  • I am very passionate about helping women breastfeed and applaud you for encouraging women to nurse babies, not just get them human milk in a bottle. There's a huge difference and I definitely see the relationship aspect of nursing as important as the physical health benefits.

    - J.S.

  • I wanted to send a very sincere thank you for the help I received at IBC. I don't know what I would have done without everyone at IBC and can't thank you all enough for your depth of knowledge and standard of care.

    - L.S.

  • I never thought that I would be a bf mom, your teams continued support has opened my world to something truly amazing and breastfeeding has formed such a strong bond between my son and I. I can't thank your team enough!

    - A.L.

  • I'm just writing to express my gratitude for all the help and support your website has given me while I was struggling to breastfeed my first child! At the end it all worked out great!

    - T.S.

Prenatal
Breastfeeding Class

We offer prenatal breastfeeding classes for soon-to-be parents. Our focus is to get mothers off to the best possible start by providing comprehensive information on:

  • The physiology of lactation
  • The importance of skin-to-skin care
  • Care of the newborn
  • Evidence-based breastfeeding practices

 

This is a 3-hour prenatal breastfeeding class for mothers and their partners. The class is kept very small and is structured to facilitate questions and discussions. This class is intended for first-time parents or parents with one or more children.
