Breastfeeding & Chestfeeding
If you are breastfeeding/chestfeeding, we want you to be successful!
To get help planning your return to work while breastfeeding/chestfeeding, or with questions about working and breastfeeding/chestfeeding, consult with a public health nurse by calling our breastfeeding/chestfeeding line at (608) 243-0449 or check out our online resources at the Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding Education and Support, PHMDC.
A Momava Pod is available on the 2nd floor of the City-County Building to assist with lactation needs. Alternatively, reserve a conference room for breastfeeding/chestfeeding.
