Welcome to the Moses Taylor Lactation Support and Education web page!  Our mission is to help every woman who wants to breastfeed her child do so for as long as she wishes.

We conduct a prenatal Breastfeeding Basics class where women and their partners learn the basics of breastfeeding.  Our Back to Work class helps women prepare their families, homes and themselves for reentering the work force as a new breastfeeding mother.  Breastfeeding Support Group is held the first Tuesday of every month for breastfeeding mothers and their babies of all ages.

     While you are in the hospital, we visit you everyday throughout your hospital stay to ensure breastfeeding gets off to a good start.  All mothers, whose babies are admitted to the NICU, are visited by the Lactation Consultant with instructions on how to establish a milk supply until your baby is strong enough to breastfeed.

     After you and your baby are discharged from the hospital, we call you at intervals throughout the first year to answer any breastfeeding questions you may have as your baby grows.  If a problem arises before we call you, you may call us in our clinic or page the Lactation Consultant on call after business hours.

     Our clinic, which is located on the Mother Baby Department of the Family Birthing Suites, is open everyday except major holidays.  We offer free weight checks by appointment, free bra fittings, conduct outpatient consults by appointment, rent breast pumps and sell a variety of breastfeeding products.

     Our web page includes links to other breastfeeding web sites, frequently asked questions, a list of products we sell and this page which will contain a new article every few months.  Our special events page will have pictures when momentous occasions occur.

     Visit our web site regularly and tell all your friends about us.  Remember, you don’t have to deliver at Moses Taylor Hospital to use the Lactation Support and Education services.
