Breastfeeding & Chestfeeding
If you are breastfeeding or chestfeeding, we want you to be successful!
To get help planning your return to work while breastfeeding, or with questions about working and breastfeeding, consult with a public health nurse by calling our line at 608-243-0449 or check out our online resources at the Breastfeeding Community Resources, PHMDC.
A Momava Pod is available on the 2nd floor of the City-County Building to assist with lactation needs. Alternatively, reserve a conference room for breastfeeding or chestfeeding.
