Getting the best start
Our staff is committed to helping you and your baby get the best start with Lactation support during your hospital stay. Our commitment to promoting breastfeeding with interested women has led us to have some of the highest percentages of breastfed babies upon discharge in the Sacramento area. Our lactation consultants, who are all registered nurses, provide new moms and babies much needed support seven days a week. And, after you are discharged to the comforts of home, our Postpartum Lactation Clinic is a resource to assist you if difficulties arise.
Tours, classes and caring for yourself

For more information about what to expect during your hospital stay, postpartum care and taking care of your newborn, read "Taking Care of Your Baby and Yourself," a booklet developed by Mercy Women's Center to help answer many commonly asked questions. In addition, they've put together a special Resource List with contact information for important local agencies, support groups and more.
