The Lactation Station has been my absolute savior for the 4 months I've been breastfeeding (and still going strong!).  There is so much support there, and I would recommend to pregnant women in Sacramento to go check it out before having the baby just to get familiar with it.  It's a tranquil haven in a giant hospital.

It's a small store with all the breastfeeding supplies you need: bras, nursingwear, pumps and accessories, nursing pillows, slings, and on and on.  You can change your baby, weigh her for free on the infant scale, use a private room or the couch to nurse, and best of all, you can check out super fly books from their free parenting library.  The books are sooo awesome and I have been introduced to some I would never have known about otherwise, and without having to pay a cent.

The staff is very friendly and I have also used their lactation consultant when we were having an issue a couple of months back.  $72, a fair price.  The LC was excellent and helped us with our breastfeeding problem, which I never would have figured out without her.  Well worth the $$.  She was SO rad, she actually called me four times (once a week for four weeks) to check up on how we were doing.  Until you have had breastfeeding issues, you would not know how comforting and appreciated that was!  That was SO above and beyond.

I also rented a hospital grade pump from them for a couple of months as well as an infant scale.

Breastfeeding is easy for some and more challenging for others, and I'm so glad I had them to get us through the rough spots.

Their hours are limited some days.  There is also free parking in front if you get the code from them.  Oh yeah, and they have a breastfeeding warm line for non emergencies where they call you back same day or next day.
