Maternity

The maternity and baby care team at JFK Medical Center includes International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) that are Registered Professional Nurses (RN’s) who specialize in the clinical management of breastfeeding. The IBCLC has the knowledge and skill to provide breastfeeding and lactation care in routine and high-risk situations.

In addition, the RNs in our Labor and Delivery, Special Care Nursery and Mother-Baby units are highly skilled professionals who have received comprehensive education in breastfeeding support for new mothers.

Here at JFK Medical center we meet with new mothers to discuss her breastfeeding needs and any lactation issues she may have. Plus, we offer a complementary class on breastfeeding preparation for expectant mothers in the months leading up to their child’s birth.
