We host our weekly group at TMC Rincon, on the southeast side.

What the group offers

This is a supportive, discussion-based group, not a formal class. Each session follows the questions the families in the room bring that day. Topics often include:

  • Latch comfort and positioning
  • Normal newborn feeding behavior
  • Milk supply questions
  • Pumping basics and troubleshooting
  • Bottle-feeding strategies
  • Returning to work or school
  • Growth spurts and cluster feeding
  • Knowing when one-on-one support makes sense

Who it’s for

  • Pregnant moms preparing to breastfeed
  • Moms of newborns and young infants
  • Anyone who wants community and practical, judgment-free guidance

Out of consideration for other participants, who may not feel at ease nursing around someone else’s partner, we ask that male support partners remain at home for these sessions. Older toddlers are best left at home too, so the focus stays on the babies and the conversation.

What to bring

  • Your baby, and a breastfeeding pillow if you use one
  • A list of any questions or worries

Prefer to just listen and observe? That is completely welcome too.

What you’ll walk away with

  • More confidence reading your baby’s feeding cues
  • A real sense of connection and reassurance
  • Feeding that feels more manageable, and a lot less isolating
What does it cost? Nothing out of pocket. These sessions are free with insurance, or simply free.

When a private visit is the better fit

The group helps a lot of families, but some things are better handled one-on-one: significant pain, poor weight gain, a complex medical history, or ongoing feeding distress. If you are not sure which is right for you, we are glad to help you decide, and a breastfeeding medicine visit is always available.

You don’t need it all figured out first. Questions, uncertainty, and mixed emotions are all welcome here. Just come.
One small favor. If we have helped your family, the kindest thing you can do is tell another mom who is struggling, or leave us a review. Word of mouth is how most families find us, and how we get to keep caring for our barrio.

Come as you are.

Reserve your spot for Monday’s group, or book a one-on-one visit any time.
