Interested in learning more about Lamaze? Lamaze was created to aid in the preparation of childbirth. The process incorporates breathing techniques, ways in which to find comfort during child birth, and confidence while delivering a baby. In Lamaze classes, instructors teach that a combination of conscience breathing and other comfort approaches lead to a safe and successful birth. It is found that practicing conscience breathing during labor and delivery reduce pain and discomfort. Look into Lamaze classes and how they can personally benefit you and your partner! 👶🏼🤱🏽✨🧸

Remember YOU while breastfeeding! 🤱🏽👶🏼

The “mothering” narrative, popular in our Western culture, focuses mostly on the physical and emotional needs of the baby during breastfeeding, leaving mom and her own needs in the dark. It can be easy to forget about yourself when your little one comes along, but you must take time to focus on the connection between your mental health and infant feeding! Remember yourself while breastfeeding and do activities or hobbies that will help provide you with a healthy, positive mental space. Now you and your baby are both happy and finding a deeper connection!

🌅 Join us this Saturday morning 10:00am-12:00pm for our lactation and breastfeeding support group. Bring questions for our certified lactation consultants and breastfeeding specialists

⭐️ 220 N Milledge Avenue, Athens GA 30601 ⭐️

Interesting facts about breastfeeding.😉
