We
celebrate the birth of a new child
and are proud to offer a variety of
services and support to help mother
and baby:
A
mother's milk is the best nutrition
for a baby. Human milk has special
benefits that are not found in
infant formulas and protects babies
from certain diseases and
infections. The protective elements
in a mother's milk will likely
reduce the possibility of:
-
Ear infections
-
Allergies
-
Vomiting
-
Diarrhea
-
Pneumonia
-
Meningitis
Research also suggests that
breastfeeding may help protect
against Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
(SIDS). Breast milk is also easier
for baby to digest, requires no
preparation, costs nothing, and
provides physical contact, warmth,
and closeness, which help create a
special bond between mother and
baby.
Nursing is also good for mothers by
reducing the risks of ovarian cancer
and pre-menopausal breast cancer, and
building bone strength to protect
against osteoporosis. Breastfeeding
also burns more calories, helps a
new mom get back to
pre-pre-pregnancy weight, and helps
the uterus return to its regular
size more quickly.
While
breastfeeding is natural and ideal
for both mother and baby, sometimes
circumstances arise where we need
some guidance and support, or simply
reassurance that breastfeeding is
going well. We are available for
