welcome to nmc

NMC is a non-affiliated, non-profit organization whose goal is to help mothers and their babies enjoy a relaxed and happy feeding relationship. Most of our help is provided over the telephone, but we also offer home visits to resolve difficult problems. NMC services are provided without fee or obligation.

We provide this website to supplement and enhance the services we offer breastfeeding moms, and to reach out beyond our immediate region. We hope you will find the information and links useful, and that your breastfeeding experience is a joyful one.
