Recognizing National Breastfeeding Month this August

In August, CCM Health proudly recognizes National Breastfeeding Month, highlighting how important breastfeeding is in our Infant Feeding Services program. Our Certified Lactation Specialists offer both prenatal and post‑partum support and education—covering topics like latching, milk supply, pumping, bottle feeding, and possible issues that may come up. We’re also proud to have an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant as part of our Infant Feeding Services team. Jenna Erickson, APRN, CNM, IBCLC, brings expertise in breastfeeding, newborn feeding, and postpartum care, serving families at our Montevideo and Marshall locations.

CCM Health also now partners with the Minnesota Milk Bank for Babies to provide donor breastmilk as a safe, temporary supplement when needed, helping mothers stick with their breastfeeding goals while maintaining their baby’s gut health. Our team of lactation consultants is here to support everyone—whether you’re preparing during pregnancy, returning to work, switching feeding methods, or making feeding decisions at any point.
