Lactation Support
Empowering Your Feeding Journey
Breastfeeding provides vital nutrients, strengthens your baby’s immune system, and fosters bonding. However, we understand that every family’s journey is unique, and we are here to support you in feeding your baby in the way that works best for you.
Our Philosophy: Fed is Best
At Roots of Hope Perinatal Services, we encourage breastfeeding because of its many benefits, but we firmly believe that Fed is Best. Whether you choose to breastfeed, formula-feed, or use donor milk, our priority is ensuring your baby is nourished, healthy, and thriving.
Breastfeeding Support: We provide guidance on proper latching, milk supply concerns, and comfort techniques.
Formula Feeding: We offer resources and advice to help you choose the best formula for your baby’s needs.
Donor Milk Assistance: We connect families with certified milk banks for safe, pasteurized donor milk.
