Breastfeeding & Lactation

Nursing is natural, but it doesn’t come easy to all parents and babies.

Our providers start preparing you for breastfeeding during your prenatal care. Twin Cities Birth Center + Women’s Health Clinic offers a Breastfeeding Class to our clients that focuses on understanding nursing positions, infant feeding cues, nutrition, supplies, and common concerns. After the birth of your baby, our midwives and birth assistants are there to help before you go home so that you can leave feeling confident in feeding your baby.

Twin Cities Birth Center offers a variety of classes to help support you during your breastfeeding journey. We strive to culminate a strong community of support through these classes and groups with other people that are experiencing the same joys and struggles.

Breastfeeding Class

Our Breastfeeding Class is offered to all clients as a part of their prenatal care. This class focuses on helping parents get off to a great start with a comfortable latch as well as understanding different nursing positions and infant feeding cues. It also covers nutrition during breastfeeding, supplies, and common concerns. 

DONOR MILK PROGRAM

Donor breastmilk is a priceless gift to babies. Twin Cities Birth Center + Women’s Health Clinic works directly the Minnesota Milk Bank for Babies. The Minnesota Milk Bank does a 3-step screening process which includes labs needed. We are also a drop-off site for mothers wanting to donate. The milk is processed locally in Minnesota. Donor milk is available at our center for purchase to the public and local hospitals.
