No One: Peanut Gallery: “Are you STILL breastfeeding?” “Breastmilk has no benefits after a certain age….”
Many parents are given misinformation and face criticism about breastfeeding their children beyond infancy. Join experienced breastfeeding buddies for a conversation about why breastfeeding beyond a year is normal and an important health decision for you and your child! Toddlers welcome!
Families will also have the opportunity to learn about working with your body to continue your breastfeeding journey with and around your work schedule. This workshop will be offered Virtually over Zoom. Advance registration for each session is required here.
