In general if your baby is experiencing high weight loss or if you are experiencing nipple damage it is better to first schedule an in-person lactation consultation. Click the button to cal Ruth and see if you qualify for a covered lactation consultation in your home or at Best Start Birth Center.
The lactation support group is 90 minutes every Thursday dedicated to weighing your baby, hanging out with other parents, and a lactation consultant.
