Monthly Meetings
Join us for each month as we explore all topics related to breastfeeding-- the good, the bad and the ugly!
Whether you are pregnant and looking for more information about breastfeeding a baby, currently nursing and suddenly pregnant, a new mom struggling to learn the art of breastfeeding, or an experienced mom simply looking for support and friendship, we are here for you!
Our meetings are free and open to all women and their young children.
