Breastfeeding Support for Moms
You’re always in trusted hands.
OhioHealth fully supports a mother's decision on how to feed her baby.
It doesn’t matter at which hospital you delivered your baby. Our breastfeeding support services help those who are:
- Expecting a baby and want to learn breastfeeding techniques early
- Learning how to breastfeed a newborn baby
- The mother of a premature baby or a baby with other special needs
- Adopting a baby and would like to breastfeed
- The mother of multiple infants (such as twins and triplets)
- Questioning how to go back to work while continuing to breastfeed
Private Breastfeeding Consultation
You may consider private lactation consultations for the following:
- Prenatal breast assessment: Before your baby arrives, we provide nipple and breast care instruction. We address any concerns you may have about flat or inverted nipples and other breast issues.
- Attachment and positioning techniques: Learning how to help your baby properly attach to your breast may be the single most important breastfeeding instruction you need. We guide you through techniques for a successful breastfeeding experience.
- Milk quantity assessment: We assess the quantity of milk your baby is receiving by monitoring his or her weight. This service helps to alleviate concerns you may have about your baby's nourishment.
- Nipple soreness: We teach you proper attachment techniques that help alleviate nipple soreness and discomfort. We also discuss options available if soreness should occur.
- Breastfeeding observation: As you breastfeed your baby, your personal lactation consultant coaches you to improve upon techniques and avoid future issues.
