August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, a time to celebrate and promote the importance of breastfeeding for the health and well-being of mothers and babies. At New Sinai MDI Hospital in Santa Rosa, Laguna, we are dedicated to supporting and empowering breastfeeding mothers in our community.
The Importance of Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is a natural and vital practice that provides numerous benefits for both infants and mothers. For babies, breast milk offers essential nutrients that help build a strong immune system, reduce the risk of infections, and promote healthy growth and development. For mothers, breastfeeding can aid in postpartum recovery, reduce the risk of certain diseases, and create a unique bond with their baby.
Our Commitment to Supporting Mothers
At New Sinai MDI Hospital, we understand the challenges and joys that come with breastfeeding. Our team of experienced lactation consultants and healthcare professionals is here to offer guidance, support, and education to mothers throughout their breastfeeding journey. We provide a range of services, including:
- Lactation Consultations: Our experts are available for one-on-one consultations to address any concerns or questions mothers may have about breastfeeding.
- Breastfeeding Seminar: We conduct seminars to educate mothers and families on the benefits of breastfeeding and practical techniques for success.
- Support: Join our breastfeeding events and connect with other mothers, share experiences, and receive encouragement and advice.
