Most breastfeeding problems are easy to fix if moms have the right information and a place to go for guidance and support.  Many moms want to know about putting baby comfortably to the breast, making more milk, dealing with unsupportive family and friends, and returning to work or school.  We now offer a breastfeeding support groups to help moms get the most out of their breastfeeding experience.  The let’s Do Lunch series,  helps moms in all stages of breastfeeding, pumping and milk storage. Breastfeeding plays a big role in the health of moms and babies; therefore, getting more moms to breastfeed is an important goal of public health.  Breastfeeding can lower the risk of childhood obesity, diabetes, illnesses, certain childhood cancers, and SIDS.
