Are you pregnant and curious about breastfeeding?
Struggling with breast pain or your newborn's poor latch?
Happily bottle-feeding your growing baby and interested in meeting other parents? 

Come to one of our drop-in support groups around Boston! Our groups offer professional lactation counseling, fun playgroups for your young child, and support for anyone struggling with the ups and downs of parenting. Through a partnership with Cradles to Crayons, all Boston Breastfeeding Coalition groups also offer kid-packs, diapers and other essential items for families undergoing financial hardship. For additional free breastfeeding groups outside of the coalition in the Boston area, check-out our complete calendar.
