It can be an exciting but stressful time…becoming a new parent. Research strongly supports that moms and dads need lots of support and information when that new bundle arrives. Locally, that support comes in the form of The Well Baby and Breastfeeding Clinic. The clinic opened it’s doors in March of this year. It’s a concept that’s been around in Canada since the 1920’s, but it’s fairly new in Peterborough. Keri Ferguson has the details in this segment of Healthwatch. The Well Baby Clinic is free and open to all moms and dads with infants up to the age of 2. There are two community health nurses on hand to answers questions on healthy childhood development. Many new parents have a question that doesn’t warrant a trip to the doctor….and that’s where the clinic comes in. There’s also a lactation consultant at the clinic. The Well Baby and Breastfeeding Clinic is located at the Peterborough Family Resource Centre at 201 Antrim Street. It operates every Thursday morning 10am until noon and Thursday afternoons from 2 to 3. It’s free and you’re asked just to drop in.
