WATCH NOWInpatient Support
If a hospital-grade pump is needed, they are readily available for a mother to use in her hospital room. If one, or desired, for home use, it can be rented prior to hospital discharge. On the day of discharge, the lactation consultant will review basic breastfeeding information and help the parents develop a feeding plan, when necessary.
If a baby is admitted to the Intensive Care Nursery, the lactation consultant will help the mother initiate and maintain an adequate milk supply. When the baby is able to go to breast, the consultant is available for hands on help. In addition, a GBMC lactation consultant will help a mother and/or baby in any unit in the hospital.
