Lactation Services

Breastfeeding has tremendous benefits for infants and parents, alike. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of your baby’s life and continued breastfeeding with complimentary foods for at least 2 years and beyond as mutually desired.
