10:00 am: Latch & Learn Drop-In: Coping with Crying


March 6, 2023

Coping with Crying: Feeling alone with a crying baby can make any parent overwhelmed; especially when breastfeeding isn't "working". Learning to understand your babies crying as a type of communication takes time and patience. Join us (even if your baby is crying) and take a moment for yourself to be around other parents who have been there.


Join our IN PERSON group meet-up on Monday Mornings at 10am as we rotate through popular breastfeeding topics, answer your questions, and connect as a group.

There is no advance registration required for this program, though you will need to have a FREE KeyON account- you can sign up HERE

Did you know that the Breastfeeding Buddies program of the Waterloo Region recently received a grant from the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation to expand peer breastfeeding support?

The campaign will mobilize many levels of partnerships to improve hospital-to-community supports and engage with priority populations to increase breastfeeding rates across Waterloo Region.
