Breastfeeding support is here

HPN has a new breastfeeding support arm, the Breastfeeding Support Center of Western NY, and is currently OPEN to provide lactation counseling services! Fully equipped for individualized breastfeeding support, your baby's weight and milk intake can now be measured to the gram (much more sensitive than many pediatric medical offices!) by our state-of-the-art infant scale. Relax on our comfy sofa (which folds down into a bed for practicing side-lying nursing positions) and have a cup of tea while we get to the bottom of what's troubling your breastfeeding relationship. Toys and books are available to keep older siblings busy, too!

New Payment Methods Available!

  • HPN Accepts credit/debit cards, cash or check.
  • Got a Health Savings Account or Flex Savings Account card through your work? HPN can now accept these forms of payment!
  • Sliding scale fees are always available with your WIC or EBT benefit cards
  • Coming soon: Super Bills you can submit to your insurance for fee reimbursement!

Babies love
Postpartum ​Doulas

​Imagine what it would be like to have your own, personal baby feeding/wearing/wrangling encyclopedia on hand whenever you need them. Now you can! Mary expertly delivers personalized postpartum support throughout the region and can support, instruct and educate new and experienced parents in a wide variety of areas, including breastfeeding, sleep difficulties, behavioral challenges, the normal developmental progression, baby wearing (using a soft structured carrier, a woven wrap and everything in between!), and developmentally appropriate play-based care for babies. Think postpartum doulas are just for the first few weeks? Think again! Some families find that they prefer to have a parenting guide throughout the early childhood period. Mary has a wide berth of experience ranging from the newborn phase all the way through preschool.
