The Touro Lactation Center Provides Resources & Support for Breastfeeding Mothers
Breastfeeding is one of the most natural things a new mother experiences
with her baby. Touro's lactation center offers you full-service breastfeeding
support from classes and one-on-one appointments with a lactation consultant,
to breastfeeding supplies and nursing bra fittings - all in one place.
If you plan to breastfeed, stop by the lactation center to get more information
and all the supplies you'll need to breastfeed your newborn.
We offer:
Breast pumps for both purchase and rental. Rentals are available on a daily

Nursing bras. Tip: The best time to get fitted is during your third trimester
or during your postpartum stay at Touro.
