Although breastfeeding is a natural process, it can be challenging—especially in the early weeks.
In order to provide encourage to breastfeeding mothers, Beaufort Memorial is hosting a free breastfeeding support group on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at the hospital’s LifeFit Wellness Center, 990 Ribaut Road, Beaufort. The first meeting is scheduled for April 18.
Led by occupational therapist and certified lactation counselor Anna Burns, CBC, OT, participants will learn strategies for effective breastfeeding while balancing the demands of motherhood. The support group will also provide an opportunity to learn from the successes and challenges of other mothers.
The group is open to the public and free of charge, but due to the personal nature of this group, attendance is limited to breastfeeding mothers and babies only. Registration is requested by visiting BeaufortMemorial.org/BabyU. For questions or additional breastfeeding support, call 843-522-5900.
