Breastfeeding Support Groups In the Greater Cleveland Area

12/15/2015

 
Picture
As a new mom, I found myself longing to be in community with other mothers. I wanted to talk to moms who were in a similar phase of life that I was having just given birth. I felt this strong emotional post-birth rawness, I was shocked with the process of postpartum healing, and I also wanted to talk about nursing, babies, sleep, and how much I was getting pooped on. As a first time mom, I had a ton of questions especially about breastfeeding. So I bundled up my newborn son and off I went to breastfeeding support group. Breastfeeding group was so much more for me than just going to ask questions. I ended up learning a wealth of women's wisdom about nursing from all the other women's questions and concerns, it was sometimes my excuse to shower that day, or not, and it was just nice to be in community with other new moms. 

Breastfeeding group was helpful for me later on as well. I made it a point to get to a breastfeeding support group when I was gearing up to go back to work and I had a ton of questions about pumping and schedules, I visited when I began to introduce solids, and then again when I was beginning the process of weaning. Most support groups are lead by a breastfeeding councilor or certified lactation consultant and others are peer to peer groups. 

There are a abundant amount of local lactation support groups for nursing women here in Cleveland! Check out our list below to see what group meets near you or that works best with your schedule. Also, if you are looking for private one on one lactation support we offer in home breastfeeding support services and classes at The Womb Wellness Center. You can learn more by clicking HERE or giving us a call at 828-231-6159 to schedule an appointment. ​


Breastfeeding support groups are helpful for: 
  • Trouble shooting and learning creative solutions to make nursing more enjoyable 
  • ​Emotional Support 
  • Help with establishing or improving latch
  • To learn a variety of positions for nursing
  • Getting information on pumping, milk storage, and back to work tips
  • Help with introducing a bottle to baby 
  • Support on how to establish, maintain, or boost milk supply
  • Information on introducing solids
  • Toddler nursing support
  • Weaning support 
 ****** For anyone seeing this list now, it is from 2017 and some of the groups may have moved. Please call and double-check the dates since they may have shifted.
