Lactation
Education for New Mothers at El Centro Regional Medical Center
One unexpected challenge that many new mothers face is breastfeeding. Many
don't realize that this is a learned skill and, for many mothers and
children, does not come naturally. At El Centro Regional Medical Center,
we provide mothers a breastfeeding support group and other resources for
patients pursue breastfeeding goals and strengthen the bond between mother
and child.
Just some of the potential benefits of breastfeeding include:
- Ideal nutrition for newborns and infants
- Better digestion for the child (when compared with formula)
- Lower risk of asthma or allergies later in life
- Lower occurrences of diarrhea, ear infections, and other health concerns
- More bonding time for mother and child
ECRMC breastfeeding workshops are held in a baby-friendly environment and
the knowledgeable nurses are there to answer questions and provide resources
before and after the child arrives. For more information on the breastfeeding
resources provided at ECRMC, call Lizeth Ramirez at 760.370.8526 today.
