Induced Lactation: Online Planning Session
What will I learn in this planning session?
This session is designed for parents who are planning on induced lactation (for those who have never lactated or chest/breastfed before) or relactation (for those who have lactated or chest/breastfed in the past). Many of our families are welcoming children through adoption or have non-birthing parents who would like to share in the joys of feeding their babies. This session is for parents who are still expecting their baby. (If your little one has already arrived, you are the perfect candidate for our Clinical Lactation Care Consult in the comfort of your own home!)
Planning sessions are held online and are all individual. The focus will be on you and your personal situation, so we can talk about all the specifics! Clients will also receive a warm welcome in our monthly support groups and an invitation to our closed, online community forum.
