Postpartum Support

Breastfeeding help

Breastfeeding can take time and practice. Our international board-certified lactation consultants are here to help you and your baby get the hang of it. In addition to visits in the hospital after delivery, you can see lactation consultants at OB/GYN offices across the region.

Perinatal mental health services

Life with a new baby is beautiful, but it’s not always easy. Our postpartum support groups and services make it easy to connect with other new moms to discuss feelings, share stories and find solutions. 

Continued care and support

In addition to your postpartum checkup and any follow-up care you may need, we’re here to help you transition into life with a new baby. If you have any questions or concerns about your postpartum experience, you can reach your care team anytime by calling their 24-hour phone line or sending a direct message in MyAtriumHealth.
