BMH to Host Breastfeeding Support Group in Beaufort

Beaufort, South Carolina residents are about to receive a unique opportunity for breastfeeding mothers. Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) has announced a forthcoming free breastfeeding support group aimed to provide a nurturing and learning environment for local mothers.

Meeting Details

The group will meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at the hospital’s LifeFit Wellness Center, located at 990 Ribaut Road, Beaufort. Designed to accommodate the schedules of busy moms, the first meeting is scheduled for April 18, 2024.

An Expert-led Initiative

Anna Burns, a Certified Lactation Counselor (CBC), and occupational therapist (OT) will lead the group. With her professional experience and understanding, Burns is ideally equipped to guide breastfeeding moms through the complexities and challenges of breastfeeding, while also facilitating a balanced motherhood.

What to Expect

Participants can expect to learn effective breastfeeding techniques in a supportive, group setting. The support group offers a platform to discuss and share experiences, whether it be tales of success or hurdles overcome. Furthermore, being able to hear other mother’s stories and solutions could be beneficial to any mother.

Due to the personal nature of this group, attendance is limited exclusively to breastfeeding mothers and their babies. This arrangement cultivates a comfortable and safe space for sharing and learning. Mothers interested in participating are requested to register at BeaufortMemorial.org/BabyU.
