What We Do

Pain with breastfeeding? Concerns about milk supply? Breastfeeding multiples? Whatever it may be, we are here to help.

At the Breastfeeding Center of Pittsburgh, we’re skilled and equipped to address all your breastfeeding needs.

Visits & Consults

Expect to spend an hour (or more) with your Lactation Consultant, who will answer your questions and address all your concerns. She will observe you and your baby at the breast, and make recommendations appropriate to your situation. The consultation will be completed with a visit from one of our medical providers, which will provide that all-important wrap-around care that’s often overlooked in other support settings.

Coordinated Care

As needed, our providers will consult with your baby’s pediatrician to ensure thorough care and management. An encounter note documenting your visit in detail is sent to your OB/midwife and your baby’s pediatrician. This note includes an assessment of the visit, along with a detailed plan of care for you and your baby.

Your Lactation Consultant will follow-up by phone to check in, see how you and baby are doing, and provide any other help and support you need.

Education

Knowledge is power – and prenatal education classes have been shown to empower parents during this amazing journey.

A good foundation in how breastfeeding works has been proven to help normalize breastfeeding. It can also help to alleviate some of the fear and anxiety that may be associated with breastfeeding!

Enroll in our Prenatal Breastfeeding class about 4-6 weeks prior to your due date. Currently, all classes are held via Zoom.

Support

We’re here to listen, to help, to teach. We’ll give you the help you need to get started, and the support you need to succeed.

Supplies

We’re often asked if we sell breastfeeding supplies. While our main focus is providing quality breastfeeding management, we do stock a variety of specialized breastfeeding equipment.
