Private lactation support can be an excellent option for families seeking assistance with breast/chestfeeding. In Edmonton, government-funded services are limited and often come with long wait times. Since timely support is crucial, especially for newborns, private care can provide significant benefits. Edmonton is home to many highly skilled International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) who offer in-home, virtual, and clinic-based support. Private sessions typically start at around $150 for an initial assessment and can address a range of concerns, including latching, oversupply, undersupply, bottle feeding, pumping, introducing solids, transitioning back to work, and weaning. All practitioners listed on this page hold the IBCLC credential, the highest certification in lactation support. Many also have additional professional credentials or specialized areas of practice. Please visit their websites for more details.
