Lactation Services in Tuscaloosa
Breastfeeding is an investment in your baby's future and a wonderful gift that lasts a lifetime. Your breast milk provides optimal nutrition and health for as long as you breastfeed, and beyond. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a follow-up on all breastfed infants within two to three days of discharge. The ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥ Health System offers breastfeeding support services at two locations where our team of experienced board-certified lactation consultants provide a variety of resources and services to help you achieve your breastfeeding goals.
Our consultants are available at both locations by appointment only Monday through Friday. There is a consult fee of $20 per 30 minutes of consult time. Our consultants are available to assist with:
- Weight Checks
- Latch Assistance
- Test Weights
- Nursing Issues
We offer store products, such as bras, nursing supplies, and pump kit breast pumps. Breast pumps and supplies are sold by ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥ Home Medical Equipment, located in the Phelps Outpatient Center on the campus of ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥ Regional Medical Center.
Baby Weigh Day is from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month. This service is available for no charge.
