Breastfeeding, Chestfeeding, and Lactation Support

Breastfeeding can be hard. We're here to help.

Feeding your baby will be unique and individualized to you, your support system, family, and partner. When choosing to breastfeed/chestfeed* your baby, it can be helpful to learn, prepare, and plan together.  The more you know, the more comfortable and confident you will feel the first time you feed your baby. You are not alone!  The resources on this page can help you with local and virtual resources to support your decision and plans to feed your baby. 

*Chestfeeding is the act of feeding your baby, regardless of your gender. This can be either with milk directly from your body or the gesture of feeding from your chest with the help of a supplement. The term “chestfeeding” is more inclusive and is representative of all parents.
