BREASTFEEDING

and

POSTPARTUM CARE

 

Breastfeeding is a healthy, natural biological process, and we empower women by guiding and supporting them as they feed their babies.

Each of our Guiding Star Centers offer breastfeeding support, either through the services of a certified lactation support person or through resources to guide women to local lactation consultants. Each center is also required to offer quarterly breastfeeding class to help support the breastfeeding mother on her journey.

All of our centers provide resources for women seeking support in their postpartum period. Some of our centers provide postpartum support in the form of meal trains, rent and utility assistance, milk sharing, and emotional health counseling for women experiencing postpartum depression or processing birth trauma.
