Molly's Lactation Counseling Thursday Lactation Support Group
Thursdays, 11:30am, via Zoom
Pay what you can, $0-$15

For parents, caregivers, little ones, expectant peoples, and anybody curious about lactation. This class provides a space to laugh and share about breastfeeding issues, concerns, and joys, with each other. No issue is too small, big, or weird. We will break it down and reflect on our experiences together. As a Certified Lactation Counselor, and breastfeeding mom, I'll provide some tools and techniques to make things more easeful.
