More Ways We Support Feeding Families
Some families come to Gwinnett Breastfeeding for a specific need beyond a traditional lactation consultation.
Donor Milk & Feeding Support
Looking for donor milk? Gwinnett Breastfeeding serves as a local donor milk resource for families in the Metro Atlanta area.
If you're seeking donor milk because you're concerned about your own milk supply, donor milk and lactation support can work together. An IBCLC can help you understand what may be affecting milk production, milk transfer, pumping, or feeding.
- Donor milk information
- Milk supply concerns
- Breastfeeding assessment
- Pumping support
- Individualized feeding planning
Baby Weight Checks
Monitor your baby's growth and feeding progress with an in-office weight check.

Hospital-Grade Pump Rentals
Hospital-grade breast pump rental options are available for families who need additional pumping support.

- Ameda hospital-grade pump options
- Rental periods based on your needs
- Office pickup and return
Needing Supplementation Today Doesn't Define Your Feeding Journey Tomorrow.
If your baby needs donor milk or other supplementation, meeting that immediate need and getting lactation support can happen at the same time. We can help you better understand your milk production, your baby's feeding, pumping, and the options available to your family.
