Breastfeeding forms a unique bond between mom and baby, but it sometimes
comes with difficulties. Daviess Community Hospital's breastfeeding services
can help. Breastfeeding is a bonding experience that provides your baby
needed nutrition while helping you both avoid future health problems,
including cancer and diabetes. However, breastfeeding doesn't come naturally
to all mothers. In these cases, we provide complete, personalized support
for mom and baby. Even before you give birth, we offer support group classes
and one-on-one consultations can give you expert tips for breastfeeding
during your baby's first three months. We can assist with issues such
as latching difficulties, soreness and milk production, and can answer
any other questions.
We are proud to offer breastfeeding services provided by two International Board Certified Lactation Consultants. They offer both inpatient and outpatient visits. Our team is also available by phone for any questions or concerns and provides a monthly breastfeeding support group free of charge. A breastfeeding class is available as part of the childbirth series. Click here for the 2023 calendar.
Milk Depot and Milk Express Site
Daviess Community Hospital is proud to be a
Milk Depot/Milk Express Site in partnership with The Milk Bank, making milk donation convenient and
increasing access to pasteurized milk for families.
To become a milk donor, call 1-877-829-7470, email engagement@themilkbank.org or go to www.themilkbank.org. You will be asked to fill out a donor application and medical history form. Consent forms from your physician as well as your baby’s physician will then need to be signed. Lastly, you will be asked to complete a blood test at the Milk Bank’s expense.
