Since prenatal education has proven to increase both breastfeeding initiation and duration rates, why not start it earlier than the prenatal period?

September is NICU Awareness Month. Observed every September, this month is to honor families, premature or critically ill infants, and the healthcare professionals who care for them in neonatal intensive care units.

We want to recognize all the IBCLCs here in Pittsburgh that work in all the NICUs. We also want to thank the Mid-Atlantic Mothers' Milk Bank for helping to provide donor milk to all the NICUs.
