Join Flourish Feeding’s Free Support Group Today! If you're a mother in the Duxbury/ South Shore, MA area, I invite you to join the free Flourish Feeding breastfeeding support group run by Christie Ziomek, BS, IBCLC. Breastfeeding can be one of the most rewarding, yet sometimes challenging, aspects of motherhood. It’s also not for everyone. Whether you’re a first-time mom or an experienced parent navigating a new phase of feeding, having the right support is crucial. This group is for every mother or parent, no matter where you are on your breastfeeding journey. Whether you're exclusively breastfeeding, supplementing with formula, or have chosen not to breastfeed, you are welcome. Our group celebrates diverse choices and provides a space where you can share your challenges and successes without fear of judgment. One of the greatest gifts of this free feeding support group is the community it builds. You'll have the chance to meet other local mothers/parents who are going through similar experiences. It’s an opportunity to share stories, offer advice, and build friendships that can last well beyond the group. https://www.flourishfeeding.care/freesupportgroup The Flourish Feeding Support group is free, open to all, and held regularly at the Duxbury Library. Whether you’re looking for practical tips, emotional support, or just a place to connect with other moms, I am here to offer a gentle, inclusive, and empowering environment. https://duxbury.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/flourish-feeding-breastfeeding-support-group-14/
