August 1–7 is World Breastfeeding Week, a time to celebrate breastfeeding and recognize the importance of supporting families throughout their infant feeding journey. Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, or still deciding what’s best for you and your baby, having support can make all the difference.
Breastfeeding provides many health benefits for both babies and mothers, but it isn’t always easy. Many families also rely on pumping—whether they’re returning to work, experiencing latching challenges, or simply finding a feeding routine that works for them. No matter your feeding journey, you deserve encouragement and access to trusted resources.
Lactation Support Visits
Meeker-McLeod-Sibley Community Health Services has several Certified Lactation Specialists and Counselors who provide personalized lactation support before and after your baby’s birth. Support is available for families who are breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, or preparing to breastfeed. Whether you’re facing challenges or simply looking for additional support, we’re here to help you meet your feeding goals.
