Breastfeeding Resources

Although breast-feeding is a natural process, many women struggle in the first few months to feel comfortable and confident with their decision. As the first Baby Friendly Hospital in Los Angeles County, we are committed to helping each mother every step of the way to better health outcomes for her baby.

Let's get your bundle of joy off to a great start.

Breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to ensure your little one has the nutrition they need to be healthy from the start. The World Health Organization actively promotes breastfeeding as the best source of nourishment for infants and young children. Our designation as a "Baby-Friendly" Hospital affirms our commitment to stand by our mothers, WHO, and UNICEF in creating a healthier future for our babies.
