Milk Meet Ups
Fridays at 12:30pm
Babies Change Quickly. Your Feeding Goals Can Stay Steady…
Make the most out of your Friday with baby. Flow Lactation facilitates a Milk Meet Up at Kindred Cville’s yoga studio at 12:30pm. This group starts after Kindred’s 11am Baby & Me class. Join for either or both, and get access to:
-
Our professional pediatric scale is available for you to check baby’s weight between pediatric visits, ensuring your baby is growing well and healthy.
-
Flow Lactation’s International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) facilitate the group discussion and answer your questions. We help separate feeding myths from science-based guidance.
-
Milk Meet Ups are a great time to stock up on feeding essentials from our curated selection of bottles, pumps, flanges, pacifiers, and nipple shields.
-
While you’re here, check out the Donation Dresser that’s stocked with flanges, bottles, and nursing/pumping bras thanks to generous moms in our community who have finished their breastfeeding journey. It’s like they are cheering you on from the other side of the finish line!
"While breastfeeding is a personal relationship between mother and baby, it is not a one-woman job. It requires a wider network of support from families, communities, workplaces and the health system..."

A Community of Moms
For so many of us, we never saw a mom nurse a baby until we were handed our own baby to feed. They wouldn't hand you a bicycle and say, "it's natural - give it a try; you'll know what to do if you just trust your body" but imagine you'd never held a bicycle, only seen one in a video, and P.S. you hadn't slept in 24 hours. So why do they set women up for failure, expecting us to learn this skill in isolation in the early weeks and months with our baby?
Latching your baby
Bottle feeding your baby
Calming your fussy baby
Wearing your baby
Bottle feeding while pumping
Even just holding your baby...
Practice Makes Progress
These are all learned skills that take practice to get comfortable with, and it can help to see how other mothers do this too. Join the Milk Meet Ups to share what you've figured out, get answers to your questions, and to find a community of other moms who are in this phase of life too. You don't have to figure this out alone.
