| The art of breastfeeding is truly a gift that only we can give to our children. It is a skill, however, that we need to learn. Our breastfeeding educators are available before delivery to help you learn. We provide instruction to include: anatomy and physiology of the breast, components of breast milk, proper positioning, pumping, storage and a review of pump equipment. We also provide breastfeeding instruction and lactation consultants after delivery for help if needed to resolve any difficulties. |
