We encourage women to choose breastfeeding - it is relationally, nutritionally and financially the best option. There are lactation consultants and resources available if you need help with this. It is worth the effort.

Breastfeeding within the first hour after birth is often called the golden hour, it is a powerful start for both baby and parent.

Some benefits include:
➡️ Skin to skin helps regulate body temperature, blood sugar, bonding and initiate breastfeeding.
➡️ Provides colostrum, which is packed with antibodies, nutrients and natural sugars.
➡️ Supports mom’s recovery and milk production.
➡️ Builds a strong emotional connection.
➡️ Mother’s milk is an essential food source for baby.

Whether it’s your first time or not, every breastfeeding journey is unique. Learning can take time and patience in the early days and weeks. You’re not alone, support is available.

Contact Durham Health Connection Line to speak with a public health nurse for confidential phone advice and to access breastfeeding services. Call 𝟯-𝟭-𝟭 or 1-800-841-2729 (Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm).

Sure do. Whatever we have we share. We are a little low on prepared and powdered formula right now.

Support can look like tiny clothes, full diaper bags, and real care. Many pregnancy centers offer free baby items to help parents take the next step with confidence.

What a wonderful way to support women students! Making it possible to choose life.

House just approved a pro-life bill ahead of the March for Life, requiring colleges that receive federal funding to inform pregnant students about resources to carry their babies to term instead of steering them straight to abortion. Passed 217–211. This matters.
