Learning to breastfeed is a journey that can take weeks and even months for parents and babies to learn together. That’s why we provide ongoing breastfeeding support through a board-certified lactation consultant at our Adventist Health Women’s Clinic in both Portland and Clackamas. 

Supporting you in breastfeeding long after you leave the hospital 

A lactation consultant can guide you through successful breastfeeding techniques and help you troubleshoot breastfeeding issues and work through challenges. They specialize in:

  • Achieving and maintaining a good latch
  • Baby’s weight gain needs
  • Bottle feeding
  • Emotional support and education
  • Engorgement, plugged ducts and mastitis
  • Feeding positions
  • Learning baby’s feeding cues and behavior
  • Milk expression, pumping and storage
  • Supporting milk production
  • Supplementation
