We tried other methods to breastfeed before deciding on the release (at 5 months). No issues breastfeeding after procedure. We also did three sessions with an osteopath, related to the procedure.

    If the procedure and the osteopath sessions were prescribed by a doctor then you can claim them as medical expenses.

     

    You can also double check with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). If you are in Canada or the United States, you can call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281. If you are elsewhere, you can call 613-940-8495. This page has more ways to contact the CRA: Contact the Canada Revenue Agency
