Becoming a mother is one of the most amazing experiences, but feeding your baby can be extremely difficult.
Breastfeeding and pumping are full-time jobs in those first few months postpartum. And they also bring with them worries about breastmilk supply and whether baby is getting enough to eat.
We rounded up a list of breastfeeding and lactation services for when you need a little extra assistance on your breastfeeding journey.
Thank you to Lovelace Health System for sponsoring this guide.
Expecting a baby is an exciting and life-changing journey. Lovelace would like to make your experience as memorable and stress-free as possible by helping you navigate your healthcare. No matter your insurance or birthing plan, our Labor of Love program offers you access to no-cost pregnancy perks and assistance finding a provider or insurance.
When it comes time to deliver, you can expect exceptional, comfortable, and convenient care. Throughout labor and delivery at Lovelace Women’s Hospital, new parents stay in one of our private birthing suites. Equipped with the latest technology, each room is designed for a relaxed and comfortable birthing experience.
In the event your baby is born prematurely or needs special care, our state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is here to serve you. Our on-site NICU offers 24/7 skilled medical and nursing staff who care for infants as young as 23 weeks of gestation in a quiet, home-like environment.
We are excited to be part of your prenatal care and delivery so that your experience is as safe, healthy, and pleasant as possible.
