Breastfeeding Support
At Cone Health, we’re dedicated to supporting you as you navigate the journey of feeding your baby. If you’ve chosen to breastfeed your baby, it can help with your breastfeeding success to have a go-to resource along the way. Let US be that resource!
Lactation Consultants at Cone Health
Any breastfeeding mother can benefit from meeting with a lactation consultant, and particularly anyone who’s running into issues with breastfeeding. Working with a consultant vastly increases the chances that a mother will be able to continue breastfeeding successfully.
Inpatient Consultants
While you’re in the hospital after your baby is born, we have a team of lactation consultants dedicated to helping you get a strong start with breastfeeding. If your child spends time in the NICU, we have NICU-specialized lactation consultants to help you navigate the unique challenges that come with breastfeeding an infant while they’re in that environment.
Outpatient Consultants
Our outpatient lactation consultants are available to meet with breastfeeding mothers. They can help address a range of issues, including:
- Difficulty with baby’s latch
- Low/high milk supply
- Infant weight loss/gain
- Issues with pain while nursing
- Pumping questions and concerns
- Navigating mastitis
