August Family-Friendly Events in Albuquerque

Every August, it feels like back-to-school sneaks up without warning, no matter how prepared we think we are. All of a sudden, it’s school supply shopping, trying to implement a bedtime again, and looking up easy lunches on Pinterest. As we head into one of the busiest months of the year, let us do the work of finding your next end-of-summer event in the Albuquerque area.

Thank you to our partners at Lovelace Health System for sponsoring this guide.

Every August is World Breastfeeding Month, and Lovelace Women’s Hospital is proud to offer lactation education and support during pregnancy, delivery, and after going home. IBCLCs (International Board Certified Lactation Consultants) can be found at both Lovelace Women’s Hospital (LWH) and Lovelace Regional Hospital in Roswell. These breastfeeding experts can support you in the hospital and from home.

LWH is a Baby-Friendly® designated birth facility by Baby-Friendly USA, Inc. and first achieved international recognition as Baby-Friendly® in 2017. This distinguished honor demonstrates that LWH is adhering to the highest standards of care for breastfeeding mothers and their babies.

Expecting your first baby, or just want a refresher course on lactation? Sign up for Labor of Love’s Breastfeeding Basics class here.

We are excited to be part of your breastfeeding journey so that your experience is as safe, healthy, and pleasant as possible.

For more information on lactation services at LWH, call (505) 727-6797.
