The Birth Center, State licensed and serving the Sacramento community since 2000. Our Nurse Midwives, Ruth Cummings and Blanche Skubic, have been helping women their entire careers in the Sacramento and surrounding areas to safely give birth, along with providing comprehensive pre-natal and post-partum care, and breastfeeding support, including tongue-tie diagnosis and release.
While breastfeeding is a normal, biological process, it often comes with challenges. Some lactating parents experience pain, cracked or bleeding nipples, plugged ducts, or mastitis. Meanwhile, babies might have poor weight gain, reflux, colic, or inability to stay awake while nursing. In some cases, tongue and lip ties can cause these breastfeeding difficulties. Anytime you experience problems, we encourage you to seek help from an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). At The Breastfeeding Center, conveniently located within The Birth Center in Sacramento, we can help you resolve breastfeeding issues.
