Breastfeeding Support Network

Information and Support for Breastfeeding Families

Once you are home with your baby, continuing to breastfeed can be a real challenge. Mercy Medical Center - Clinton cordially invites all breastfeeding moms and their nursing infants to attend a meeting of the Breastfeeding Support Network.

You can attend BSN once or every week if you desire. Each session will be facilitated by one of our Breastfeeding Educators from the Mercy staff and will provide group interaction as well as individual assistance when needed.

The format will be informal and topics to be covered will include trouble-shooting common breastfeeding problems and issues, understanding normal newborn behaviors, and the emotional transition to parenting. A baby scale will be available at every session for you to do weight checks if desired.

Come join us! Bring your baby and meet other new moms!
