Breastfeeding Help
The Breastfeeding Services at Willow Creek Women’s Hospital have been created especially for new mothers. Here in a warm and supportive environment, new mothers can discuss their breastfeeding goals, concerns and babies’ needs with certified lactation consultants. Breastfeeding advice and assistance are available by calling (479) 684-3210.
Basic Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding classes are offered several times monthly for expectant parents. For class times and dates, please call 479-684-3120.
Breastfeeding Newborns
Breastfeeding specialists make rounds daily while you are in the hospital to give individual instruction to mothers and their newborns on proper latch-on and positioning techniques and other special situations.
Outpatient consultation
For mothers who have gone home and would like further instruction and assistance can call and schedule an appointment. If a doctor refers you, a summary of your lactation consultation will be sent to your physician to provide continuity of care.
Breastfeeding Resources
