At the beginning of breastfeeding, you will be resting from your birth on your babymoon. As you reach the end of this time you may have some breastfeeding questions, and need a relaxing place to go with your baby, and this is where the Breastfeeding Circle comes in. The Breastfeeding Support Group meets every Thursday to share the joys and challenges of breastfeeding. Kate Sharp, a certified lactation consultant, will cover a topic every week so that there is a focus for discussion. Since babies and challenges change constantly you’ll have lots of concerns not covered by the topic and we will address those as well. Kate’s role is to lead discussion, not lecture, since mothers are so important to each other, and you know so much already. Every mother is the expert on her own baby, and a lot more!
Kate Sharp is a longtime La Leche League leader and board-certified lactation consultant with 20 years experience and an active private practice.
Every Thursday from 1:00-2:30
