Lactation / Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is a natural and essential process for newborns and their mothers. At CHOC, we understand the importance of lactation and offer comprehensive support to help mothers successfully breastfeed their babies. Our lactation consultants are highly trained and experienced in providing personalized guidance and education to mothers, ensuring they have the knowledge and resources they need to overcome any challenges they may face. Whether you are a first-time mother or have breastfed before, CHOC is here to support you every step of the way.
