As natural as breastfeeding is, it does require some education and assistance—even for mothers who have already nursed a child before. The Birthplace offers several resources for the breastfeeding mother and baby at every stage of the cycle.

Prenatal Breastfeeding Class

A certified lactation consultant presents the basics of breastfeeding, including myths related to breastfeeding, breast milk vs. formula, immunlogical properties, normal breastfeeding behavior, breastfeeding and the working mother, dad/partner's role, and more.

Lactation Consultation

Our International Board Certified lactation specialists provide on-site consultation seven days a week. They create individual breastfeeding plans and offer private office consultations regarding position and latch on, breast or nipple soreness, and assistance with twins, premature infants or babies with challenges.
