What can I learn from a lactation consult?
A lactation consultation is a one-on-one session with a trained lactation consultant at Millennium Pediatrics who specializes in helping mothers and families navigate breastfeeding.

They tailor care to your baby’s unique needs, personalizing your situation. These consultations can help build your confidence and reduce the stress that sometimes comes with breastfeeding.
