Welcome to Lactation Link South Jersey located in Atlantic County. Lactation Link SJ was started when I realized there was a need for services locally to help new and seasoned parents on their feeding journey. I am here to help you plan and support your feeding journey wherever it may take you and also offer other services such as helping you transition your baby home from the NICU. Read below for a description of what services are provided and please feel free to reach out to me with any questions on how I can help you. Thank you and hope to work with you soon!
