Lactation Services
At MOMS, we provide lactation education during pregnancy and hands-on support with your baby to provide encouragement, tackle challenges, and help you meet your breastfeeding goals.
Just as it takes a village to raise a baby, it takes a village to support a nursing mother.
Lactation Class
In this prenatal class series, you will learn the basics of breastfeeding including positioning, what to expect in the first days and weeks, how to prepare yourself for success, and what resources are available if you experience challenges. For more information and to register, visit our Health Education page.
Lactation Consultations
We provide free one-on-one consultations in English and Spanish to support you on your breastfeeding journey. Whether coming straight from the hospital or encountering challenges along the way, we are here to help. For more information and to schedule a consultation, visit our Health Education page.
Lactation Support Group
Our bilingual lactation support group is offered monthly to provide a space to gather and receive support from other moms and our trained lactation counselor. For more information and to register, visit our Health Education page.
Milk Depot
MOMS Collection Center opened in July, 2023 and is Orange County’s first Human Milk Collection Center. It has been incredibly successful, becoming one of the top centers in our region. We understand the importance of breast feeding, also the struggles that can accompany it. Through our partnership with Mother’s Milk Bank, we are able to help those families in need. Since human breast milk is the preferred source of nutrition for medically fragile infants in NICUs, we realize that having such services available in our community is vital for donor and recipient alike.
