Jimena Grimaldi is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant on the New Beginnings Unit at Flushing Hospital Medical Center. Her interest in this field came from having come to the realization that a woman can provide optimal nutrition for her baby after childbirth and it gives newborns a healthy start in life.
Flushing Hospital serves a very diverse community. With all the differences in cultures and beliefs, breastfeeding is still a priority for many of the new moms. It gives Jimena great satisfaction to be able to instruct the new moms on proper breast feeding techniques and to watch for the first time mother and baby bonding in this manner. Jimena enjoys meeting all of the new moms at Flushing Hospital and feels fortunate to work with the team on the New Beginnings unit who share the passion for breastfeeding.
