Breastfeeding support
The Breastfeeding Center @ Park Nicollet has been designed to help you with all your breastfeeding needs and is located in the Health & Care Store, on the ground level of the Meadowbrook Building, on the Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital campus. Experienced registered nurses, who are board-certified lactation consultants, are available to assist you during your hospitalization. A certified lactation consultant will visit every breastfeeding mother Monday through Saturday, to answer breastfeeding questions during hospitalization.
Occasionally, breastfeeding difficulties occur once you get home. A lactation consultant can help identify causes and provide a detailed feeding plan for you and your baby. Lactation consultants can address and assist with:
-
sore nipples
-
slow infant weight gain
-
milk supply concerns
-
breastfeeding multiple babies
-
breastfeeding babies with special needs
To make an outpatient appointment with a lactation consultant, call 952-993-5124. We accept most insurance plans and will handle billing for you. Please call your insurance company to learn more about your coverage.
Park Nicollet classes are available to help you prepare.
