Lactation Services
Breastfeeding Educators are available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have, problem solve, and offer you support in your decision to breastfeed.
Individual Lactation Consultation: No two babies are the same. Whether you have breastfed before or this is your first experience, you and your baby may both experience some unique challenges. A lactation specialist can offer an individualized approach to create a successful feeding journey tailored to you and your baby’s unique needs.
During a consultation, a lactation specialist can provide:
- Assessment of baby's latch
- Insight on whether baby is getting enough milk
- Help with positioning during feeding
- Education on pumping and storing milk
- And much, much more…
To request an individual consult with one of our Certified Lactation Specialists, call (712) 794-5260, day or night.
