FAQs

Frequently asked questions:

Q: Do I need prior experience with breastfeeding?

Absolutely not. Our sessions meet you where you are. You’ll learn in a supportive, small-group environment with peers navigating the same questions and concerns.

Q: What if I’ve had a traumatic birth or lactation experience before?

Your experience is valid. We approach every parent with nonjudgmental empathy, integrating strategies to reduce anxiety, support mental health, and rebuild confidence — so feeding can be a source of joy rather than stress.

Q: How do group sessions work?

Groups are intentionally small to allow hands-on guidance, personal attention, and safe sharing of experiences. You’ll benefit from seeing how other parents approach challenges — building both knowledge and reassurance.

Q: Why is positioning as important as latch?

Positioning sets both you and your baby up for comfort, successful feeding, and milk transfer. We emphasize gentle alignment, body support, and cues — all under supervision — so you learn techniques that protect both physical and emotional well-being.

Q: How do you support mental well-being?

Stress, anxiety, or past experiences can affect both parent and baby. Our sessions normalize feelings, provide emotional validation, and integrate calming practices, alongside practical feeding techniques. Feeling seen and understood strengthens confidence, reduces stress, and supports milk supply.

Q: I’ve heard formula can be “as good or better” than breast milk — how do you address this?

We provide evidence-based guidance so families can make informed decisions. Our goal isn’t judgment, but preparation: understanding what supports milk production and bonding, while empowering parents to navigate conflicting messages from social media or marketing.
