Breast Friends!

A group latch / positioning workshop open to moms and babies of all ages!

Want to nurse without using a pillow?

What about nursing in public?

What position is best when baby chokes a lot?

What about lying down?

This group session will provide help for basic latching issues* and can also help answer questions regarding breastfeeding in all manner of positions and situations.

Bring your positioning questions - and your baby - and we'll work together!

*please note:  This is a group workshop, and is not appropriate for solving individual breastfeeding difficulties.  If you are having severe pain, or if your baby is not doing well, please schedule an individual consultation so that we can address those difficulties in depth.
