Breastfeeding is a special experience that you share with your baby. It helps you bond with your baby and helps make sure the baby is healthy. However, especially in the beginning, breastfeeding can be challenging and overwhelming. Do not be discouraged if the first feedings are challenging. This is new for both you and your baby, and it will get easier with practice. Here are a few common breastfeeding challenges a parent might face and some suggestions for breastfeeding at home.

OB/GYN providers, lactation consultants, and family can all be great resources during your breastfeeding journey. Charles B. Wang Community Health Center offers support for lactating parents through our experienced health care providers and certified lactation consultants.

If you’re preparing for breastfeeding and receiving prenatal care at the Health Center, speak with our prenatal care team at:
Queens: (718) 886-1287
Manhattan: (212) 966-0228

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Miscarriage is common, which is why it’s important that we understand it and how to navigate the emotional and physical journey of early pregnancy loss. Most miscarriages are not due to anything within the control of the pregnant person, but there is a tendency for the pregnant person to blame themselves.

Learn more about what does and doesn’t impact likelihood of pregnancy loss, what happens during a miscarriage, what treatment options are available, and what to expect after pregnancy loss on our blog at bit.ly/CBWCHCUnderstandingMiscarriage

Support is available at the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center. Our experienced and compassionate OB/GYN providers will make sure to be with you every step of the way during and after a miscarriage.
