WakeMed Cary Hospital Breastfeeding Support Group

WakeMed Cary Hospital is pleased to announce it is now home to a breastfeeding support group.

The support group will meet weekly beginning Monday, February 12 and will be led by our certified lactation consultants who can answer questions and facilitate an open forum where moms can discuss common challenges with breastfeeding. This support group will be especially good for brand new moms and for breastfeeding moms preparing to return to work.

Often, breastfeeding moms have concerns that their baby is not growing enough or getting enough milk. This is why at each support group we will offer weekly weight checks for the babies. The weekly weight checks will help build mom’s confidence and prove they are doing the right thing. The weekly weigh-ins will also help identify issues early so moms can find solutions to breastfeeding challenges and ultimately be successful.

It is our hope too that the support group also helps new moms connect with each other and eventually develop friendships between moms and babies.

Bring a snack and water. This class is for moms and breastfeeding babies only.
