August is World Breastfeeding Month, a time to recognize the importance of supporting mothers and babies throughout their feeding journey.
Did you know one of the biggest factors in successful breastfeeding is having the right support?
Whether you’re planning to breastfeed, pump, formula feed, or use a combination of feeding methods, having access to education and encouragement can help you feel more confident as a new parent. That’s why McPherson Center for Health is proud to be recognized as a High 5 for Mom & Baby hospital. The program recognizes Kansas hospitals that follow evidence-based practices to support families through feeding education, skin-to-skin contact after birth, individualized guidance, and continued resources after going home.
Our Women’s Care and Birth Center team is here to answer questions, provide support, and help you find the feeding plan that works best for you and your baby because every family’s journey is unique.
