Learning to Latch + Building Supply!:

Learning to latch comfortably, and building a milk supply takes time, practice, and SUPPORT! We can help you improve your latch, and show you new positions to breastfeed in. We will also help you to feel confident that your baby is getting enough milk. Come and learn how to build and protect your milk supply as well as normal feeding patterns. We’re also happy to answer other lactation questions!

 

Join our virtual group meet-up on Tuesdays we rotate through popular breastfeeding topics, answer your questions, and connect as a group.
To ensure the privacy of participants, advance registration for each session is required here.
