Childbirth Education Classes For expectant mothers and their coach in the last trimester of pregnancy. Lactation Services Breastfeeding is a very rewarding experience for both you and your infant.
Breast milk is the most natural and nurturing food for newborns.
It contains antibodies that protect infants from infections in the first months of life. Breastfeeding also creates an unbelievable bond between mother and infant. Contrary to what you may have been told, breastfeeding is not always natural. It is important to learn proper techniques while in the hospital and have a strong support system once you and your child have gone home. The staff here at Republic County Hospital can supply you with these needs.
