What We Do

Pain with breastfeeding? Concerns about milk supply? Breastfeeding multiples? Just some reassurance that “you got this”?

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

Visits & Consults

visits-consultsExpect to spend about 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

coordinated-careAs 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
