Get Breastfeeding Support
After your delivery and during your postpartum hospital stay, you can receive private bedside breastfeeding education and assistance from one of our International Board Certified Lactation Consultants.
Once you leave the hospital, if you find that you'd like assistance with breastfeeding, you can make an appointment with a specially trained lactation consultant at the Mother’s Resource Center for private breastfeeding advice and support.
A $45 fee is due at the time of the first consultation. Follow-up consultations are $15 each. Special consideration will be given for those who can't afford this service.
The Mother’s Resource Center also has a number of breastfeeding products available for purchase. Among them:
- Breast pumps for rent or purchase
- Baby weigh scales
- Pillows and many other supplies
Although the Mother’s Resource Center consultations, classes and supplies/equipment are not covered by insurance, the IRS allows for reimbursement through either a flexible spending plan or a health savings account.
Group breastfeeding classes are free, however there is a $25 fee for each private/individual class. Call (559) 459-2423 to register for the following classes:
