A letter of support: Hello Joy, I wanted to sincerely thank you for the service & facilities provided for lactating mothers that work on CCF Main Campus. I was very blessed to nurse my son for 12 months. ( I have weaned him now.) I credit part of my success to having such a quiet/private space to pump at work. Making the choice to nurse my baby was not only a good decision for the health of my son - it was a good healthy choice for me. I was able to lose the weight I gained during pregnancy as well as an additional 5 pounds. I was able to use the Lactation Room during 2007-2008 with my son Matthew as well as with my older son Joshua in 2001. I am truly grateful for all that you and the other CCHS Lactation Consultants do to educate and support new mothers. In addition to using the Lactation Room here, I utilized (in 2001 and 2007) the Breast Feeding Education class and Breast Feeding Support Group at the Fairview Wellness Center. Thank you again! Sincerely, Kara J. Heney, B.S., R.Ph. Cleveland Clinic Foundation Department of Hospital Pharmacy
