Breast milk is chock-full of good nutrients for your baby and confers many health benefits. Breast-feeding has health benefits for moms, too, and promotes mother-infant bonding. The lactation consultants of WVU Medicine Camden Clark work with pregnant women and new moms to support breast-feeding success.
The benefits of lactation care and support include:
One-on-one care: To help you and your baby get off to a great start, a lactation consultant meets privately with you before discharge to answer questions and make sure breastfeeding is going well. Should you need more assistance after discharge, help is only a phone call or office visit away.
Experience: Our lactation consultants are nurses who are board-certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners. We have extensive experience helping moms master breast-feeding and overcoming any issues.
Education and support: We offer a variety of support services for breast-feeding moms, including breast-feeding classes: Moms-to-be and new moms can participate in classes led by lactation consultants. Learn more about our pregnancy and childbirth classes.
