Midwives have a vital role in ensuring safe, empowered childbirth experiences.
Read MoreAt Inspira, we understand the importance of breastfeeding to families and the health of their children. We also understand that it isn’t always easy or possible for every woman.
Breastfeeding provides significant health benefits for both mom and baby. Our team provides new moms with breastfeeding education that helps them not only provide optimal nutrition, but also bond with their babies.
Because this is a learning process, we offer classes as well as one-on-one support even before you deliver.
The maternity care team at Inspira’s Medical Centers in Elmer, Vineland and Mullica Hill includes lactation consultants and nurses trained in breastfeeding to add to the support you receive from your obstetrician or midwife.
Inspira offers a Breastfeeding Support "Warmline," where mothers can call to speak with a lactation consultant for help with breastfeeding issues, questions and problems.
In some cases, your best chance for success is to come in for a visit to see our lactation consultants in person. We currently accommodate outpatient appointments for maternity patients.

Postpartum Support Groups
Our lactation consultants offer personal instruction on breastfeeding techniques and address your questions or concerns. This individual and confidential service is available by phone.
Inspira offers breastfeeding classes to assist with the diagnosis and resolution of common breastfeeding issues.

At Inspira, we believe childbirth should be celebrated in a home-like environment designed to foster a sense of peace and safety. Inspira offers private rooms in which families can stay from admission to discharge. They’re designed to feel more like home than a hospital, but still have all the safety and security access features for moms and babies. The family waiting area offers convenience and comfort for our patients and their families.
Inspira has partnered with Nemours Children’s Health to provide neonatal, pediatric and emergency care for children. Teaming up with Nemours allows Inspira to offer an advanced level of pediatric specialty care to families. Access to Nemours at Inspira is currently available 24/7 at Inspira’s Medical Centers in Vineland and Mullica Hill.
Our experienced, supportive lactation consultants treat patients from convenient locations across the Inspira Health footprint and over the phone.
For women looking for a holistic approach to their health care, our certified nurse midwives offer gynecologic and well woman care, in addition to pregnancy and childbirth services in conjunction with our Gentle Beginnings program.
