Feeding Your Baby in the Hospital
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants be fed breast milk exclusively for the first six months of their lives. As a distinguished Baby-Friendly designated hospital, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center promotes breastfeeding. After giving birth, our staff will show you how to breastfeed successfully without having to use formula to supplement your baby’s diet. Donor human milk is now available, talk to your doctor about this option.
