Barbara Brennan Koenig RN / BCLC
(Board Certified Lactation Consultant)
My services are offered as a part of your care as a patient of Partners
in Women's Health.
I am committed to giving comprehensive care to the breastfeeding mothers who are patients of Partners in Women's Health. I encourage expectant moms to take advantage of the "Preparing to Breastfeed" class held every few weeks at 7pm in the large waiting room. Class is usually on Monday evenings. It is a one time class and fathers-to-be are encouraged to attend as well. Sign up at the front desk.
Topics discussed include:
- Advantages of Breastfeeding
- Breastfeeding Resources
- Prenatal Preparation
- Breastfeeding in the Hospital
- Breast Pumps and Supplies
I make hospital rounds at Baptist East Hospital and Norton's Suburban on Monday-Wednesday-Friday. During those visits I am able to assess how the baby is latching and prepare mom with going-home information. I am available at our office after hospital rounds for both telephone and office consultation. This includes both the newly delivered and moms with needs when baby is older.
I am also on-call at home during my non-office hours. My phone number there is (502) 491-5920.
