To celebrate National Breastfeeding Month, we asked some graduates of our Lactation Program about their experience with breastfeeding!

"Breastfeeding is something I wanted to try because of the benefits, but I didn't know a lot about it going in. It can be challenging at first, and you might not get the hang of it right away. There's a lot to learn, and it's okay to not have all the answers. But with the right support, it becomes easier over time, and it's a rewarding experience. Take it day by day and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it." -Alex Carmean

To celebrate National Breastfeeding Month, we asked some graduates of our Lactation Program about their experience with breastfeeding!

"As an experienced postpartum and labor and delivery nurse, I thought I was fully prepared to breastfeed with minimal assistance. What I wasn't prepared for was having a complicated pregnancy that resulted in delivering a premature baby. That combined with several risk factors for delayed lactation and low production due to a chronic health condition, I was concerned with my ability to produce enough for the needs of my baby. Once I was discharged from the hospital, I found myself somewhat lost in what to do next as my son wasn't gaining weight adequately despite doing everything I possibly could. He wasn't transferring enough at the breast and I didn't know that until I saw lactation for an outpatient visit. I ended up seeing Julie from Beebe's lactation team outpatient at least 4 separate times and each time I learned new, helpful tips as I graduated from exclusively pumping and feeding expressed breastmilk via bottle, to latching with a ni**le shield, and then eventually exclusively breastfeeding. I even was able to build up a slight oversupply to stock in my freezer. I couldn't be happier with the transparency and attention I received from Beebe's Lactation Program. Without them, I know my journey would not have been nearly as successful. I'm going on 6 months of exclusively feeding my baby breastmilk and I am so proud to be where we are now. It feels like it has gone by so fast." -Alexandria Short

To celebrate National Breastfeeding Month, we asked some graduates of our Lactation Program about their experience with breastfeeding!

"I felt so supported by Beebe’s lactation program starting from the birth of my son in the hospital. I’ve had a few appointments with Julie in her office and the latch at lunch breastfeeding support group was so much help to us when we were having problems. I never felt alone and I have become so much more knowledgeable." - Shannon Biddle
