| Breastfeeding Support Groups - including NEW working mothers' group! |
Weekly Breastfeeding Support Group
Come join us at our weekly drop in breastfeeding support group! We meet on Mondays from 10:30AM - 12:00PM. Support Group meets in the Zenana Spa and Wellness Center Classroom. Each group is facilitated by a lactation specialist, and includes the opportunity to weigh your baby, hear what is working for other mothers, get evidence based information and support from Beyond Birth, and make connections with other breastfeeding mothers. There is no need to register, unless you need childcare for older children, but you can purchase a packet of drop in tickets for an advanced purchase price, if you desire. Call us or stop by for more information. (503) 232-2229.
