Why was this free virtual group created?

 

We understand families are adjusting to parenthood. Breastfeeding can be a wonderful choice for families and  community groups can foster new relationships, provide confidence, and ensure breastfeeding success. 

 

Breast milk is nature’s food designed specifically for babies. Breastfeeding has many benefits for moms and babies, helping reduce allergies, ear and respiratory infections, childhood obesity and SIDS. Breastfeeding also helps to prevent womens’ cancers and type 2 diabetes. 

 

 

What can we do for you?

  • Provide breastfeeding education both during pregnancy and postpartum
  • Provide support and assist with breastfeeding challenges such as latch technique and building supply
  • Give information on pumping and breast milk storage
  • Support breastfeeding continuation after returning to work

 

What do we also provide?

  • Celebration of breastfeeding successes
  • Emotional support, with the help and assistance of a certified lactation counselor (CLC) and IBCLC and fellow moms, we help and support each other on the breastfeeding journey
