Free Bottle Feeding Support Group
227 Haywood Rd
Asheville, NC 28806
USA
The decision for how to feed our babies is not taken or made lightly. Spend time with others who have gone through similar struggles in coming to the conclusion that: “Fed is best.”
We will share stories, explore, and support each other with:
· Feeding techniques
· Finding the right bottle/nipple (size, level, shape, etc) with The
Mothership’s Bottle Library
· Finding the right formula (we’ll have samples!)
· Pumping techniques, schedules, tips, etc.
· Grieving the breastfeeding relationship
· How to handle judgments
· How to wean – either onto formula or off the bottle entirely
· …and much more!
This FREE group is for those who, for whatever reason, only feed their babies with a bottle. Formula moms/dads, pumping moms, pumping moms who supplement – all are welcome!
Meets the 3rd Saturday of the month at 10am at The Mothership. Babies, pumps, and bottles can all come, too! (The 3/18 meeting will be at noon instead of 10am)
About the host, Lauren K. Kaufmann, LPC: Lauren had insufficient glandular tissue (IGT) and a baby who just did not want to breastfeed. She saw lactation consultants, pumped for 3 months, supplemented with formula starting in the hospital, tried “all the supplements,” and even had an adverse reaction to Reglan. Lauren gets that fed is best, and that it is hard, and she wants you to know that there is support out there for bottle-feeders!
