Our lactation counselors believe that breastfeeding is one of the most beneficial tools parents have to contribute to an infant’s health and well-being.  Appointments made with your pediatrician can be supplemented with lactation counseling upon request.  One of our lactation counselors will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have while you are in the office or by phone.  They will help you feel comfortable with your feeding decisions!  Please contact the office for more information.
