Lactation Services
MeritCare offers lactation services in the hospital, clinic and throughout the breastfeeding experience. All mothers who deliver at MeritCare Family Birth Center will receive a free post-partum visit in the clinic after they are discharged. Services will be available at MeritCare Broadway and Children's Southwest clinics.
MeritCare's goal is to provide every mother who delivers at MeritCare the opportunity to meet with a nurse after discharge to check their baby, have questions answered and get assistance with feeding issues. Pediatricians and lactation consultants will work together to monitor mother and baby in the clinic setting in the first weeks after delivery.
If you have questions, Lactation Services phone line is available Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Clinic appointments with Lactation Services are available at both MeritCare Broadway and MeritCare Children's Southwest clinics in Fargo. For lactation questions or to make an appointment, call (701) 234-5560.
