Lactation Services
Call 828.586.7907Our care at the Harris Regional Hospital New Generations Birthing Center does not stop when you take your baby home. Research suggests that most mothers are in need of some breastfeeding or general feeding support following hospital discharge.
Healthy behaviors for new moms and babies are a priority at Harris Regional Hospital. Breast milk is your most complete nutrition source - providing amazing health, growth, and immunity benefits. Breastfeeding is also good for your health and creates a closeness that only you can give. Consider the power of breastfeeding.
Harris Regional Hospital is proud to provide support to the breastfeeding moms in our area – those at work and at home. We are committed to making communities healthier, and breastfeeding education enables us to do this with twice the impact, as it benefits babies and their mothers. Our Certified Lactation Specialists offer outpatient or drop-in visits after discharge to continue to support you and your baby on your feeding journey. Please call 828-586-7907 for more information.
