Covered or not…. Public Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding outside of the comfort of your home (or inside the home on a virtual call!) can seem very stressful. Many parents feel nervous, embarrassed, and worried about what others will think! Breastfeeding Buddies have learned strategies to breastfeed with confidence in any situation. Covered or not, join us to discuss tips, your concerns, your rights and ask questions.
We want to help you reach #yourbreastfeedinggoals!
If there are any breastfeeding or chestfeeding topics that you would love to learn about, reach out to us at bfbuddies@kdchc.org
