Facilitated by Truc, Lactation Consultant.
Feeding your baby can feel overwhelming — especially when everyone seems to have an opinion. But you don’t have to navigate it alone. We’re here to help.
Join us for gentle, non-judgmental support with:
• Breastfeeding / chestfeeding
• Bottle feeding
• Introducing solids
• Feeding challenges and concerns
Whether you're newly postpartum or feeding an older baby, this is a welcoming space to ask questions, share concerns, or simply be reassured that you're doing better than you think.
No appointments. No pressure. Just compassionate, knowledgeable support when you need it.
Come as you are — we’ve got you.
