We encourage breastfeeding as the ideal method of feeding your baby. The U.S. Surgeon General and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that babies be breastfed exclusively (no formula) for the first 6 months of life, as breastmilk has been determined to be the ideal composition for baby's needs. Our Labor & Delivery nurses are trained to assist you to begin breastfeeding during those first few hours after birth. We encourage rooming-in with your baby during your hospital stay, so that you can breastfeed your baby on-demand.
Kelly Ashton is our Lactation Specialist who will help you with your breastfeeding needs.
