Help Celebrate World Breastfeeding Week August 1-7

Posted on August 1, 2018 by Blog Administrator

Today kicks off the start of World Breastfeeding Week! Here at AAMC, we have a wonderful team of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) who work hard with our new families to help begin their breastfeeding journey. These talented nurses help support, educate, and follow-up with newborns throughout the Clatanoff Pavilion, including the NICU.

AAMC is proud to celebrate the strides in exclusive breastfeeding rates through various efforts such as rooming-in and skin-to-skin contact. The lactation department continues to practice current evidence-based research to ensure new families are successful in their breastfeeding journey. AAMC is also proud to have designated pumping rooms that are open to all AAMC employees. Pumping rooms are located:

Clatanoff Pavilion
1st floor Women’s Surgical Unit
3rd floor of Mother/Baby Unit

Belcher Pavilion
7th Floor

ACP
South tower – 3rd floor, 5th floor, and 6th floor
North Tower – 5th floor (room 540)
Pediatrics – contact x481-6333
ER – has a pump set up for ER Staff

If someone needs a pump in a pavilion that is not listed please speak to Peggy Haines at x481-6977 first and she will make arrangements to supply one for that particular person.

 

Thank you to the knowledgeable lactation nurses who sprinkle their magic dust on all our new babies. Thank an IBCLC this week!
