New Breastfeeding Support Group

As we continue our third anniversary week, we're celebrating all the breastfeeding moms out there tomorrow with our very own Nursing Day!

As we feature our great breastfeeding products this thursday, we'll be holding some special events and giving away free merchandise via raffle!

At the top of our list for tomorrow is the creation of a new drop-in breastfeeding support group! And this first session is free! All following sessions will be scheduled, but you won't need to sign up in advance - just walk-in!

Here's how our in-staff certified lactation counselors, Leda Ward and Koyuki Smith, describe their new support group!

Sept. 23rd @ 1pm - Breast Feeding Support Group - Join Metro Minis certified lactation counselors Leda Ward and Koyuki Smith to find answers to your breastfeeding questions and to connect with other breastfeeding moms in the community. This drop-in group can help you understand and alleviate minor and ongoing concerns, as well as identify deeper problems that may need to be addressed by individual lactation consultation. Common issues include: latch problems, increasing or decreasing milk supply, strategies for returning to work, understanding normal nursing and sleeping patterns, nursing in your baby carrier, and working with different nursing positions. We also welcome moms who have no specific concerns but simply wish to meet and share stories in a nursing-friendly environment.
