As a follow up to my previous post about the best Lactation Consultants in Charleston , I wanted to share helpful resources for Breastfeeding Support in Charleston and a few other helpful resources for the new, breastfeeding mama who may be looking for survival tips or solidarity in those early days of breastfeeding your new baby!

FIRST THING’S FIRST: There are a few items that you absolutely NEED in your life right now and I promise you, I SWEAR by these things:

Secondly, one thing that I absolutely loved and found to be so incredibly supportive and helpful during those early days was community mommy / baby groups! Sadly, my favorite one (ran by my doula) no longer exists but I also found the camaraderie & solidarity among the new mom’s in weekly moms’ groups to be the tits! (pun definitely intended!) This, in my humble opinion is tremendous for Breastfeeding Support in Charleston!

Check out Your Baby’s Consultants’ comprehensive post on Mom’s Groups in the greater Charleston area to find a group near you! Try out a few, I promise you’ll find a tribe and it will feel incredibly supportive! xo

And last but certainly not least, I found a great deal of encouragement and Breastfeeding Support in Charleston from La Letche League of Charleston! During those early days of breastfeeding my baby, La Leche League  offered in person support groups for new moms and their infant’s and toddlers! I am not certain of where they currently meet but you can definitely contact the Charleston, SC group leader: Kimberly: 843-814-1322 (call or text) for more current information! La Leche League is a non-profit group whose purpose is to give information and encouragement, mainly through one-to-one help to all who want to breastfeed/chestfeed or provide pumped milk for their babies.

And Finally, if you’re thinking: “these Newborn Portraits are adorable” and maybe you would like to schedule a Newborn Portrait Session for your newest bundle of joy! You can learn more about Newborn Photos in my Charleston, SC Newborn Photography Studio, here:
