We support exclusive breastfeeding because of the proven health benefits. To protect patients, staff and our community, in-person breastfeeding classes at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children and Madison Hospital have temporarily been suspended. However, our certified lactation specialists now offer virtual online breastfeeding classes to help expectant mothers learn about the significant benefits of breastfeeding, what to expect at the first breastfeeding session and strategies for breastfeeding success. This is approximately a two hour class.

We also offer a Breastfeeding Mothers Support Group. The support group offers in-person meetings as well as a virtual option. Click for details.
