Intro to Breastfeeding Services
Breastfeeding Classes and Lactation Consulting
Breastfeeding can foster an amazing bond between moms and babies—not to
mention the incredible health benefits. When you're starting out, it's helpful
to understand what's normal, know how to identify potential problems and
have resources for support if you need it.
Birth Kalamazoo offers a class called "Breastfeeding, Naturally!"
Taught by an international board certified lactation consultant, the one-time
class helps prepare parents to start their breastfeeding journey feeling
confident and informed.
After your little one is born, we also offer in-home breastfeeding support.
For an hourly fee, a board-certified lactation consultant will come to your
home and help you with any nursing challenges you might be facing. It makes
such a difference to be able to see someone in your own home, without having
to worry about packing up a newborn to drive somewhere, or guess when your
baby might be hungry. The lactation consultant will also look at your breastfeeding
space and make sure that you have the best set-up to support your nursing
relationship. She will also follow up by phone after each visit, to be sure
things are going well.
If you have questions that don't require an in-person visit, phone consults
are also available.
We care about moms and babies, and want to help you find nursing success!
