Research indicates there are many benefits to breastfeeding your baby. SSM Maternity Care can help you take advantage of this option. No formula can replicate the nutrients provided by your milk, and the time you and your baby share as you provide nourishment will help to enhance your bond. While every woman is capable of providing for her infant through breastfeeding, it may take practice. Should you choose this option, we offer breastfeeding classes before birth so you will know what to expect. In addition, a lactation specialist will visit you during your hospital stay to answer any questions you may have and help you feed your baby. Our specialists are also available to schedule a follow-up appointment with you if you would like ongoing breastfeeding assistance.
