Breastfeeding Center

When it comes to breastfeeding a newborn, many moms aren’t sure where to begin. Clark Memorial started The Breastfeeding Center to give expectant and new parents a place to go for breastfeeding classes, consultation and, when needed, equipment.

Breastfeeding Basics Class

This monthly class for expectant mothers provides basic information on breastfeeding and proper breastfeeding practices as well as discussion of common problems faced by new mothers. Fathers are welcome and encouraged to attend.

If you’d like to attend, call (812) 283-2405.

Breastfeeding Help Line

Whenever you have a question about breastfeeding, call our Lactation Consultant at (812) 283-2901.

You may also refer to our Breastfeeding Basics page, which answers many common questions about breastfeeding.

Consultation

Our certified Lactation Consultant is available for one-on-one consultation before and after the birth of your baby.

For expectant mothers, our consultant will help you determine your readiness to breastfeed and give you information and instruction on proper breastfeeding methods.

Once your baby is born, our Lactation Consultant will continue to guide and support you, helping you address any breastfeeding problems that may arise such as latch-on, sore nipples or low milk supply.

Our certified Lactation Consultant is available to assist you Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Call (812) 283-2901 to schedule an appointment.
