We know it takes more than facts to make decisions. Sometimes you need guidance from a seasoned expert, help resolving conflicting information, or even just a little reassurance about your choice. Thanks to the generosity of the David D. & Nona S. Payne Foundation, we have a free call center for parents or providers, staffed by experienced nurses trained by Drs. Hale and Krutsch. Call the Infant Risk Center during regular business hours with any questions about medications and breastfeeding.
