Lactation consultant support 

Helping make sure you and your baby get off to a great start is important. Sometimes that means having someone to answer your questions, help you to learn about breastfeeding, and how to use a breast pump, should you need it. Our lactation consultant can answer your questions regarding:

• Breast pain and soreness
• Milk supply
• When to add solid food

We can offer support when you’re ready to go back to work. We understand that every woman is different. What works for one family might not work for you. But our lactation consultant can help.

Our lactation consultant:

• Sarah Fulop-Furlano, IBCLC
