Breastfeeding Support Center
The Breastfeeding “Warm Line” provides free breastfeeding triage and referral services to all women who live in Butte County. The Staff provides current research-based breastfeeding information and linkage to well trained breastfeeding resources to help you with your one on one needs. Our goal is to give mothers the confidence and skills to continue breastfeeding for the first year of their infant's life and beyond as mutually desired, keeping with the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
We support breastfeeding women. Most families make the infant feeding decision without knowing all of the facts about breastfeeding. Breastfeeding makes a BIG difference in the health and future wellness of a child.
Many women are not prepared for the demands of a new baby and breastfeeding may overwhelm them. We can help a woman learn how to breastfeed comfortably and successfully.
Services we provide:
- telephone support
- one to one assistance for WIC mothers
- assistance and referrals to IBCLCS
- breast pump loan program
- weekly breastfeeding support groups for moms and babies
