Our services
At select locations, we're pleased to offer a full range of lactation support for parents who may need help with breastfeeding.
Lactation support
July 1, 2022
ProHealth has both Certified Lactation Counselors (CLC) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) in many of our offices throughout the state.
Specialized support
We can help with position, latch and intake for your baby, including:
- Multiples (more than one baby breastfeeding at a time)
- Adoptive options
If you have a history of breast issues or have had breast surgery, our doctors are trained to help.
Breastfeeding problems
We can help with common problems, such as:
- Sore nipples
- Breast infections
- Plugged ducts (problems that stop milk from coming out)
- Low milk production (not making enough milk)
Breast milk storage
We help breastfeeding parents returning to work or school with:
- Weaning (switching a baby's diet from breast milk to other foods and drinks)
- Stopping milk production
ProHealth & Mother's Milk Bank
ProHealth became a depot for Mother's Milk Bank Northeast on February 2020. A milk depot is a community location that accepts breast milk from screened donors.
A milk depot also stores and ships breast milk to a milk bank. The milk bank collects, screens, processes and gives out donated milk.
We expanded to become a dispensary in April 2022. As a dispensary, we're able to give out milk from the milk bank to mothers in need in our communities.
How to donate
If you want to donate breast milk, please contact Mother's Milk Bank. Screened donors can schedule a time to drop off with our trained staff. To make an appointment, please call 1-860-652-3325, TTY 711.
