Breastfeeding Support

One of the best things that only you can do for your baby is to breastfeed. Breastfeeding is more than a lifestyle choice—it is an important health choice that brings a wide range of benefits to both you and your baby. At St. Jude Medical Center, we specialize in helping new moms gain the skills and confidence to be successful.

The first hour after birth is often an ideal time to begin breastfeeding and bonding with your baby. Our highly trained and experienced staff will be there to guide you, answer your questions, and help make your early efforts successful.

During your hospital stay, our caring lactation experts will continue to offer help and support. We also work closely with moms whose babies are in the NICU to help eliminate any barriers and ensure their success in breastfeeding.
