Breastfeeding is Beautiful is a free feeding support group for breastfeeding moms and their babies. This peer-to-peer group will be led by a lactation consultant, Danielle Donovan, RN, BSN, IBCLC. Topics may include, but are not limited to, navigating the early weeks of breastfeeding, nighttime feedings, common challenges that can arise during your feeding journey, coping with myths, combining breastfeeding, pumping and returning to work.
The nurturing environment offers an opportunity for breastfeeding women to support and encourage each other. We ask that you are respectful of all participants and the facilitator and are tolerant of parenting styles that may differ from your own. Please note that this group is for peer support and is not the right setting for a full consultation. Information provided in the group setting does not replace an existing feeding plan or care instructions from your healthcare provider. An infant scale will be available to weigh your baby.
Drop ins welcome but providing contact information is encouraged should the support group meeting be canceled. Please email your name, email address and phone to msanford@milreg.org.
This support group meets the first Friday of each month from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at Milford Regional Medical Center.
