Make an appointment at the Nursing Mother's Center by calling 336-718-5636. Because of the urgency of feeding issues, we strive to see you as soon as possible. Please schedule your appointment at your baby's feeding time.
Avoid feeding or pumping two-three hours before your appointment. This will allow us to better assess your situation. Please bring all pump parts and supplies to your appointment.
