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.

Whether you’re expecting or currently breastfeeding, our monthly Breastfeeding Classes are here to support you. Led by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), these sessions provide clear, research-based guidance to help you feel confident and prepared. Topics include what to expect with breastfeeding, strategies for success, comfortable nursing positions, and how to achieve a good latch.
