Lactation Support for Hospitalized Moms

Give Your Baby the Best Possible Start in Life

Your body has been getting ready to feed your baby throughout your pregnancy. Human milk is specially made for your baby. Consider the first few weeks a learning period for you and your baby. Give yourself time to recuperate from birth. With time and practice, you will become a coordinated team. CHKD Lactation is available in the NICU to assist you
with getting started.
