The San Diego Breastfeeding Center is excited to relaunch our weekly lactation and infant feeding support group in a new, centrally located space. Join us for an hour of education, warm conversation, and compassionate support designed for you and your baby's feeding journey. This group offers both professional lactation guidance and meaningful peer connection during the postpartum period.

What you'll receive each week

• Weighted feeds to measure milk transfer
• Latch and positioning support
• Temporary pain relief and comfort techniques
• Guidance on how much your baby needs based on their unique weight and age
• Evidence-based breastfeeding and milk supply education
• Supportive peer-to-peer conversation
• Open Q&A — bring your feeding questions!

Good to know before your visit

Brief guidance on pumping and bottle-feeding technique may be offered; however, a full private consultation is recommended for in-depth support with topics such as bottle refusal, flange fitting, and complex feeding challenges.
