Baptist South Lactation Center

Our lactation consultants are registered nurses with special training, extensive experience, and certification in counseling and assisting breastfeeding mothers. They are available to offer help and expertise to mothers who have made the choice to breastfeed or mothers who have already begun breastfeeding. Lactation consultants work to prevent breastfeeding problems and help the mother find answers and solutions if problems arise.

Our services range from seeing all breastfeeding mothers daily while they are in the hospital, telephone support for concerns and questions that may arise once at home to specialized outpatient consultations. The Lactation Center’s retail, phone and outpatient services are available to any mother, regardless of whether she delivered at Baptist South or another facility.
