Breastfeeding Resources - Montreal and Surroundings

Here is a list of breastfeeding resources in the Montreal area. I hope these resources will be useful to you! All the links are working, and the information was updated on May 1, 2009. My advice: if you feel that the advice you are receiving is not helpful to you, go knock on the next door. 

I have heard a lot of good things about the HERZL Breastfeeding Clinic and I am very curious to know what you thought of the service received at other specialized breastfeeding clinics. Please let me know your comments! Coming soon, the list of resources in the Quebec region.
