In recognition of Breastfeeding Awareness Month, we're discussing the vital support available for lactation and breastfeeding with Dr. Tarajo Hanrahan, a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) at Trinity Health Medical Group.

Breastfeeding Awareness Month is dedicated to promoting the importance of breastfeeding and support to mothers. It's a time to raise awareness about the health benefits of breastfeeding for both babies and mothers, as well as encourage communities to support breastfeeding families.
