Breastfeeding Clinic

A Breastfeeding Clinic is available at Nemaha County Community Health Services - 1004 Main Street in Sabetha, (785) 284-2152. Visits are expected to last around an hour. Call to schedule your appointment.

A prenatal consult between 36-40 weeks is HIGHLY encouraged! Really, this is ideal for any prenatal momma, as even those who choose NOT to breastfeed can experience breast changes.

Tara Lohman will be available to consult with ANY postpartum mom in the Sabetha Community Hospital, Monday through Friday, as able. Your nurse at the hospital will ask about setting up a consult and will call and setup a time based on your care.

Healthy Start

During the hospital stay, your nurse will ask about your wishes for services such as Healthy Start Home Visit, WIC, Parents as Teachers, etc. Healthy Start is a free in-home service. If clients prefer, Tara can provide more information at the hospital consult or in the office. This is a great opportunity for a weight check and breastfeeding consult in the comfort of your own home.
