Because of the intimate and private nature of the discussions taking place, these spaces are open only to women who have experienced a cesarean themselves, at this time. Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis. Please contact ICAN of Portland for more info.
The Portland chapter meets on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7:00 pm at Milagros.

Low Milk Supply Support Group
When: Tuesday, May 21st 2013 10:30am – 11:30am
Where: Milagros, 5433 NE 30th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97211
From the instructor:
Join other mothers who have dealt with low milk supply for support, information and friendship!
Finding out that you cannot exclusively meet your baby’s nutritional needs with your own milk can be very disappointing, but there are a lot of wonderful options and you can still have a rewarding breast and/or bottle-feeding relationship with your little one. In this group, we will share stories, discuss feeding options, troubleshoot challenges and uplift one another in a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental atmosphere.
If you have IGT/Mammary Hypoplasia, PCOS, hormonal imbalances, previous breast surgery, or low milk supply for any other reason, this group is for you! Best Feeders is intended for mother’s with chronic low milk supply, however, other mothers with supply issues are welcome to join us.
We encourage pregnant mamas who think they may have supply issues when their baby is born to join us as well.
Facilitated by Jeane Nova Gump, Mama, LMT, & Doula
