ABOUT
Join us for our informative breastfeeding workshop, which aims to give pregnant women , new mothers and even seasoned moms , the knowledge and encouragement they need to breastfeed their babies.
The workshop will cover subjects like the miracle advantages of breastfeeding , ideal placement and latch, controlling milk production , and overcoming typical breastfeeding difficulties as well as the more hard hitting subjects like your breastfeeding rights in the workplace and what to do when it all doesn't go according to plan.
