Pediatrics
Lactation Support
Children’s Hospital New Orleans supports the statement by the American
Academy of Pediatrics that breastmilk is a natural and beneficial source
of nutrition and provides the healthiest start for an infant. Our team
offers follow up lactation support in an outpatient setting.
Research shows that breastmilk offers many health benefits for infants
and mothers. Some benefits of breastmilk include:
- Natural source of the nutrients your baby needs
- Less risk your baby will be overweight
- Less risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
- Less risk of diabetes for your baby and you
- Enhances newborn brain development
- Less risk of ovarian and breast cancer for mother
Our team cares for both mom and baby, provide ongoing lactation support,
and offer growth and nutrition guidance.
We accept Louisiana Medicaid and nearly all major insurances.
