If you are having difficulty with breastfeeding once you have left the hospital, you can call the Saint Barnabas Warm Line (973-322-5684). The Warm Line is a dedicated phone line that is monitored by certified lactation consultants. It is designed for non-emergent breastfeeding questions that can be answered during regular business hours. If you have a question, day or night, call the Warm Line and leave a confidential message and phone number. A lactation consultant will return your call during the next business day. If you have an emergent breastfeeding question, please contact your child’s pediatrician. If you would like to meet with a lactation consultant once you are home, you can contact NewBornMom Breastfeeding Solutions.
NewBornMom Breastfeeding Solutions has provided help to moms and babies for over 20 years. Through private, one-to-one consultation, an IBCLC-certified lactation consultant can help prevent problems and provide new moms with the breastfeeding experience they envision.
