LACTATION SERVICES OVERVIEW
The lactation team at Mamatoto Village can help you to resolve breastfeeding challenges and increase your confidence. We offer private office and home consultations with either a Certified Lactation Specialist, or an IBCLC depending on the severity of the situation. In home support can be beneficial in addressing more immediate and pressing lactation concerns.
