Find your breastfeeding success

If you choose to breastfeed, your ARC pediatrician, Ob/Gyn, and care team can provide advice and recommendations. We also partner with Breastfeeding Success (BFS) to help new parents reach their breastfeeding goals with specialized educational materials, classes, and visits with a lactation consultant, as needed. BFS is a local group of board-certified lactation consultants, NICU-registered dietitians, and childbirth educators. Your pediatrician or Ob/Gyn can refer you to the services you need.

Integrated lactation care for new parents

Breastfeeding Success offers holistic lactation care before birth and beyond. At every stage of the parenting journey, you will be supported by International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs), who provide evidence-based breastfeeding medicine attuned to your unique needs.

Our physician-supervised services are seamlessly integrated with ARC primary care providers to reach shared goals: to ensure that each baby is getting the best nutrition possible and empower families to find their success.

What’s an IBCLC?

Breastfeeding Success is a team of international board certified lactation consultants (IBCLCs). IBCLCs are certified by an internationally recognized board examination to meet rigorous professional standards and demonstrate specialized skills in the clinical management of breastfeeding and human lactation.
