We provide consistent and evidence-based information that empowers mothers to successfully reach their own breastfeeding goals.

At the clinic you will be seen one on one in your own room.  You will be seen by a lactation support person and one of Dr. Jack Newman or Dr. Muroog Aldabbagh or Dr. Hilary De Veber, and Edith Kernerman.  Your visit will last about 1 hour.  You may bring a partner or support person with you, or two, as necessary.  Grandparents are very welcome!  You absolutely must bring baby with you!!! This is a breastfeeding clinic and breastfeeding is a two-person activity.  Please do not come without baby (unless, of course, this is a prenatal appointment!)
To book an appointment at the clinic please email the clinic directly (link to breastfeeding@ccnm.edu) and respond promptly to the auto reply.

Prenatal Class

We offer prenatal classes for soon-to-be parents. 
Our focus is to get mothers off to the best possible start by providing comprehensive information on:

• The physiology of lactation
• The importance of skin-to-skin care
• Care of the newborn
• Evidence-based breastfeeding practices

This is a 3-hour prenatal breastfeeding class for mothers and their partners.  The class is kept very small and is structured to facilitate questions and discussions.  This class is intended for first-time parents or parents with one or more children.  Download a prenatal brochure here
