From the facilitator:

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.
