Lactation Services

As part of our commitment to helping you embrace and navigate the postpartum period with support, we provide a free breastfeeding and newborn care class. The class is four sessions and will provide you with the tools you need to get off to a great start with breastfeeding.  The class is recommended to be viewed by both partners, and completed around the 36th week of pregnancy.

We provide lactation counseling from our Lactation Counselor to the general public.  Emily Maize and our Midwives provide lactation consultation for both routine and complex feeding issues and will help walk you through your breastfeeding journey to help you meet your goals and achieve success.  Lactation consultations include a full assessment of both parent and baby and a feeding observation. You will go home with a clear plan in place for next steps and insight into your infant’s individual needs.  

We also provide a weekly support group for people with infants.  The support group is offered on a drop-in basis in our Community Room on Thursdays from 10:30-11:30 AM and open to all in the community.  For more information, please email [email protected] or call our office at 541-286-4030.
