Families Love the Breastfeeding Center
So much, in fact, that they wanted to share their stories with you…

Vivienne

I love everything about the breastfeeding center. I go to the one in my children’s doctor’s office which is Kids Plus Pediatrics in Squirrel Hill/Greenfield. They are always so welcoming, understanding and willing to help! They gave me better techniques and pointers and breastfeeding has been a breeze ever since! I will always rave about them!!

We had the best experience with the breastfeeding center yesterday! They spent the first hour with us (mom and dad) to get to know us, what we wanted to accomplish, and go over any questions. The next hour was focused on the baby and latching him to me. Hands on (literally) but no other way to get the job done! It was successful and truly worked wonders for us!

The breastfeeding center was so helpful and kind! They listen and work with you to make a feeding plan tailored to your situation. I feel that they also really cared about what’s best for your mental health.

I had a great experience at the breast feeding center. The session was long and the providers were very helpful. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and address my concerns. I would recommend going to the breast feeding center.

Our breastfeeding journey has been a challenging one. I am certain that without the support of the Breastfeeding Center, we would have given up. The care, expertise, and patience of the staff has been invaluable. I am so thankful for their willingness to listen to our goals rather than push an agenda. While life with a newborn is unpredictable, our breastfeeding consultant has provided a stability and positivity that I needed. She took the time to listen and focused on ways to improve my breastfeeding experience and our baby’s, showing us that breastfeeding did not have to hurt or be overwhelming. It is a wonderful thing to now enjoy and feel confident in our breastfeeding time. My husband and I highly recommend the Breastfeeding Center.

The Breastfeeding Center is an absolute gem of a resource for new and returning moms. I had feeding challenges with both of my boys, but with the education and encouragement from the Breastfeeding Center, it helped me reach that sweet spot of nursing where it feels easy, natural and blissful. Their support—whether in office, via phone or email—was always prompt, professional and full of compassion. Without The Breastfeeding Center, I would have missed out on once-in-a lifetime bonding experiences with my boys. I am forever grateful to the staff!

The BF center is awesome! I’m a second time mom and originally didn’t plan to use it, but then I had some trouble with latch on our first night home from the hospital. I called and they got me in the same day and spent a ton of time with us and gave some amazing tips and helped with the latch issues. I think this resource is highly worthwhile.

I was beyond pleased with my experience at the Breastfeeding Center of Pittsburgh! The front office staff was responsive to my questions, accommodating to my schedule, and extremely welcoming on the day of my appointment. My lactation consultant was friendly, empathetic, and exceedingly knowledgeable. She laid many of my anxieties to rest, while also boosting my confidence in my breastfeeding success.

A truly unique aspect of the BFC is the incorporation of an appointment with a pediatrician, even if your child is not a patient of their affiliated pediatric practice. This multi-disciplinary approach makes for a comprehensive visit during which I felt truly heard. As a mother and a pediatrician, I highly recommend the BFC!

The Breastfeeding Center was an invaluable resource to me. As a first time mom, I was welcomed with open arms by Jill and the entire team. Breastfeeding can be quite daunting at first… am I producing enough? Is the baby comfortable? So many questions. Luckily, if you need to be seen by a LC or speak to one on the phone, The Breastfeeding Center is always there for you, and quickly! My goal was to nurse my baby boy for six months. But I loved it so much and it created such a bond, that we continued much longer than my goal.

Mothers and children need advocates, and the Breastfeeding Center is that for sure!

After having a difficult time nursing in the hospital, I was very discouraged and worried that I would not be able to successfully breastfeed my daughter. I’m a first-time mom and felt strongly about wanting to breastfeed. After my appointment at the center I left feeling hopeful and with a solid plan to help me along this journey. I would absolutely recommend making an appointment if you’re in need of help and encouragement!
