Lactation
The global recognition of the manifold advantages of breastfeeding is well-documented. Unfortunately, a limited number of women manage to sustain breastfeeding for even a brief period, typically ranging from 4 to 6 months. This decline in breastfeeding practices can be attributed to various factors, including misinformation, misconceptions, and notably, the diminishing support from extended families and a lack of access to peer groups.
At BirthRight by Rainbow Hospitals, we acknowledge the critical importance of ongoing support for mothers throughout their journey, be it in the hospital, home, or community. To address this need, we adopt a comprehensive approach. Beginning during pregnancy, we encourage expectant mothers in their third trimester to participate in breastfeeding education classes, ensuring they are well-prepared for the post-delivery phase.
Post-delivery, our hospital facilitates group sessions for breastfeeding mothers led by experienced lactation consultants. This platform not only addresses immediate breastfeeding concerns but also fosters a supportive community among new mothers. Additionally, we boast a dedicated group of experienced mothers advocating for breastfeeding, offering mentorship by sharing personal experiences, challenges, and practical tips.
BirthRight by Rainbow Hospitals stands as one of the few institutions with a fully equipped human milk bank. Our lactation services encompass in-patient consultations, support groups, outpatient lactation clinics, and breastfeeding classes. This holistic approach aims to empower mothers with the knowledge, encouragement, and practical assistance necessary for a positive and fulfilling breastfeeding experience, ensuring both mother and child thrive during this sensitive phase of life.
