What We Do
You’ve made the incredible decision to breastfeed your baby and although breastfeeding is natural, it’s not always easy. Mastering the art of breastfeeding can require time, patience, and support.
At Mamatoto Village, we offer new parents a comfortable and reassuring place to get the information and strategies needed to feel confident and successful during the breastfeeding experience.
We provide breastfeeding guidance through 1:1 lactation consultations, classes, and support groups.
Our highly skilled International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC)* and Certified Lactation Specialists provide the expert help you need to make nursing a positive experience for you and your new baby.

The Mamatoto Village Breastfeeding Center (MVBC) is a nurturing space dedicated to supporting new and expectant mothers and their families on their breastfeeding journey with a particular focus on Black women.

- telehealth visits
- oral assessment
- weight check
- personal assistance with nursing supplies
