Lactation Centers

Northeast Georgia Medical Center’s Lactation Centers are designed to ensure breastfeeding mothers have all the support they need, especially after coming home from the hospital. Our lactation consultants visit with all breastfeeding mothers in the hospital after their deliveries and are available by phone for any questions that may arise once the mothers return home.

Service Locations

Lactation services are provided at the following locations:

Lactation Center - Gainesville
In front of the hospital, beside Longstreet Clinic
Medical Plaza B
On the 3rd floor

Lactation Center Supplies

NGMC’s Lactation Centers provide a place where breastfeeding mothers have the option to rent breast pumps. With each breast pump rental, our lactation consultants provide individual instruction to ensure mothers are able to use it correctly.

Lactation Support Groups

Attend our helpful support groups for breastfeeding mothers:

Breast of Friends Support Group

Breastfeeding is a natural process, but it can be challenging especially in the early weeks. This support group offers mothers a time and place to connect and discuss breastfeeding-related issues not only with other mothers, but with the guidance of a board certified lactation consultant.

Discussion topics are flexible, but may include:

  • Sore nipples
  • Infant weight gain
