Lactation Services at WBWC

For many moms, breastfeeding is easy and joyful, but from our patients we often hear, “I didn’t realize breastfeeding could be this hard” and “How does anyone do it without help?” There is nothing strange about needing help to breastfeed! For generations, mothers, sisters, aunts, and friends have provided this knowledge and support. Now they may be far away or have little personal experience with breastfeeding. Our goal is to offer new moms in our area a breastfeeding community where they can find the knowledge and experience past generations had such easy access to.

Our lactation services, groups, and classes are open to all community members, meaning you don’t have to be a WBWC patient. Our experienced lactation consultants work with moms and babies born at WBWC, as well as hospitals and home births from the Triangle region and beyond.

We offer individual consultations, breastfeeding support groups, and classes. Contact the birth center to make an appointment or reserve a spot. Not sure where to start? See our Navigator below.
