Testimonial

“In 2024 I had a very complicated delivery that affected my milk supply.  I was referred to Chebucto Family Centre to rent out a hospital-grade Medela breast pump.  During a really stressful and uncertain time, Stevie helped me optimize pumping and breastfeeding so that I can nourish my newborn.  She really committed to helping me by offering evidence-based tips, web links and instructional videos, met with me in-person, and even gave me complimentary tea, lanoline cream, milk collector bags, sanitizing cleaning bags, breast pads/shields, bottle nipples for the breast pump.  She was kind enough to extend my rental so that I could continue breastfeeding my newborn at such a critical period after birth.  I am forever grateful for her compassion, patience and support during my postpartum journey. “
