Breastfeeding Support
Call Our Lactation "Warm Line"
781-624-8602
South Shore Health encourages and supports breastfeeding for your baby. If your baby requires supplementation, we offer pasteurized human donor milk as well as formula.
At South Shore Hospital, each member of our nursing staff is trained to help you establish breastfeeding. Should you require support, our lactation consultants are available to provide additional help to you, even after you go home. We provide a warm line for questions and concerns after discharge and host lactation support groups three times a week for new mothers.
We are proud to offer a wide range of support services for breastfeeding mothers.
Our Breastfeeding Support Group at South Shore Hospital meets Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 12:30-1:30 p.m. Registration is required. Join our warm, supportive environment for breastfeeding advice.
You are also welcome to call the "Warm Line" at 781-624-8602 with breastfeeding questions.
