Breastfeeding Support Group
Breastfeeding Support Group
While breastfeeding is a very natural way to feed a baby, it doesn’t always happen naturally. Breastfeeding is a learned art and sometimes it takes a community of supporters to help get new moms through the first weeks of challenges. Our support group is designed to give moms the opportunity to share their own experiences with each other.
Our Breastfeeding Support Group meets every Tuesday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. We meet on the first floor of the hospital in Conference room A and B.
