Northwell BFREE Lactation Support Groups
Northwell's BFREE program offers in-person and virtual lactation support groups facilitated by trained staff in English and Spanish, while many Northwell hospitals host regular groups free of charge. Staten Island University Hospital also documents postpartum and tele-lactation services.
System pages do not identify a current Staten Island group schedule, insurance rule, or referral requirement. Call the hospital lactation team before assuming a standing drop-in exists.
Ask for the next English or Spanish BFREE group, and confirm Staten Island timing separately if that campus is your home base.
Cost: Many hospital groups are free; confirm the Staten Island offering and any clinical visit charges
