Cazenovia — If you or someone you know has questions about breastfeeding, or is in need of breastfeeding support, there are now two Breastfeeding Connections Baby Weigh Stations in Madison County.
In Cazenovia, a brand new Breastfeeding Connections Baby Weigh Station is now open from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Mondays at St. Joseph’s Physicians The Heritage Group, 132½ Albany St. In addition to checking baby’s weight, moms can get one-on-one help from a trained lactation counselor.
Anyone is welcome to attend, regardless of where they live or who their provider is. St. Joseph’s Physicians will schedule appointments for their patients. Established breastfeeding moms may simply drop in between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. Call Amy at 883-8249 with questions.
Moms can also get their babies weighed at Breastfeeding Connections at Oneida Healthcare, 607 Seneca Ave. Appointments are available from 4 to 7 p.m. on Mondays and from 1 to 3 p.m. on Fridays by calling 361-2065. Breastfeeding Connections Café is held from 1 to 3 p.m. on the first and third Fridays. Join other moms and their babies for social time that includes a light lunch. No appointment is necessary for the café.
If it hurts or you are thinking of giving up, visit either Breastfeeding Connections location for help. Follow “Breastfeeding Café” on Facebook for breastfeeding support services in Madison, Oneida and Herkimer Counties.
