Breastfeeding Resources

 

Your breast milk provides all that your baby needs for optimal growth and development. The time you spend breastfeeding your baby creates an irreplaceable bond. In the beginning, extra support and guidance make a difference. That’s why we’re here to help with an array of useful resources.

 

Outpatient Lactation Consultations
An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) will work with you and your physician, or your baby’s physician, to help make breastfeeding successful. Consultants provide support that can make your breastfeeding experience
a positive one, especially in the first few weeks.

 

During your appointment, your consultant will:
• Assess you and your baby for ways to help with breastfeeding in a private setting.
• Provide helpful information to assist with concerns such as nipple soreness, baby’s weight gain, latch or positioning.
• Offer suggestions that may assist with breastfeeding.
Fee: $62.50 for an hour-long session. 

20 percent discount for payment at time of service. Insurance will be filed if applicable.
Appointments:
St.Vincent Women’s Hospital: 317-415-7441

Breastfeeding Support Groups
Ask, share and learn in a comfortable group environment. Our support groups are facilitated by an IBCLC and offer the opportunity to communicate in a group setting. As an added benefit, baby weight scales are available at every meeting.
