Breastfeeding Support
Most women are aware that ‘breast is best’, but many women don’t feel they get the support they need to successfully breastfeed their baby. Here at Redding Midwifery Group we are passionate to see you succeed in giving your baby the best. It is the best preventative medicine a mother can give her child. Our breastfeeding success rates are very high with more than 95% of our moms still breastfeeding after six months. We will strive to see you succeed in this area of caring for your baby. We are also fortunate to have excellent support systems in our community through La Leche League as well as the WIC Breastfeeding Support office.
