LEAD STORY

Breastfeeding and Newborn Care Center opens The Breastfeeding and Newborn Care Center, recently opened at Prisma Health Patewood Hospital in Greenville, helps ensure a seamless transition from hospital to home for breastfeeding moms and their newborns. Note that moms do not have to deliver at Patewood Hospital to take advantage of these services. The center is staffed with internationally board-certified lactation consultants (IBCLCs) and occupational therapists specializing in newborn therapy. Therapeutic services for newborns are provided by Kidnetics®, a department of Prisma Health Children’s Hospital. So whether mom or baby is having challenges, the center has them covered in one convenient site. The center has its own private entrance. Once inside, moms can feel at home in this warm, nurturing environment. Special breastfeeding recliners, low lighting and spa-like amenities provide the perfect atmosphere to relax and embrace these teaching moments.

The center features spa-like amenities for breastfeeding moms.
