Lactation services

We believe education and compassionate care are key to successful breastfeeding. Our goal is to ensure every parent feels confident and supported – with someone to turn to for questions or concerns.

That’s why our lactation services department is staffed by international board-certified lactation consultants who specialize in supporting new parents throughout this journey. We offer prenatal education to help you prepare for your baby and provide ongoing support before, during and after birth.

Working closely with our providers and healthcare team, we deliver the highest level of care through inpatient, outpatient, virtual visits and phone consultations. We're here to support you every step of the way.

To schedule a prenatal lactation appointment, call 262-948-5204. Feel free to leave a message and our team will return your call to schedule an appointment.
