Breastfeeding is the most natural, healthy, and loving gift a mother can give to her baby. District Health Department #2's Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program provides specialized breastfeeding education, encouragement and support to pregnant and breastfeeding women and their infants. Peer Counselors are available for telephone consultations, hospital visits, & support groups, and also assist participants with breast pump use and provide outreach to hospitals and physicians on breastfeeding services.
