Lactation Support for Hospitalized Moms

Give Your Baby the Best Possible Start in Life

Your body has been preparing to nourish your baby throughout pregnancy, and human milk is uniquely designed to meet your baby’s needs. The first few weeks are a learning period for both you and your baby, so give yourself time to recover from birth and adjust. With patience and practice, you’ll grow into a confident, coordinated team. CHKD’s Lactation team is available in the NICU to support you as you get started.
