Lactation Consultants
The Family Birthing Center’s lactation consultants are trained to help enhance your breastfeeding experience. You will have access to our
counselors to discuss your concerns, observe you and your baby during
feeding and offer guidance on how to get the most out of breastfeeding.
After Baby Arrives
At the Family Birthing Center, our caring for you continues after your
baby is born. When the months of planning and preparation are over, you
both deserve some rest. We provide for mom and baby to room together. We
offer you and your new family quiet time immediately following delivery
so you can bond, nurse and celebrate with your precious bundle of joy.
At Mat-Su Regional Medical Center's Family Birthing Center, the comfort of our new
mothers comes first. When a new mother wants and needs rest, one of our
team members will kindly explain that she’s requested some time alone.
We encourage extended family and friends to call ahead and ask the
nurses for a convenient time to make a brief visit.
