Our Breastfeeding Resource Center offers a range of supportive services for expectant mothers and throughout the breastfeeding journey. We provide free resources and expert guidance in both private and group settings. As Tulare County's sole Baby-Friendly hospital, we prioritize the mental and physical well-being of children by adhering to the current evidenced-based breastfeeding practices.
