We're starting a free Infant Feeding Support Group in Mishawaka — and everyone is welcome. 💗

Whether you're breastfeeding, bottle feeding, combo feeding, or still figuring out what works for you, this group is for you.

Feeding your baby can feel isolating, especially when things aren't going the way you expected. And sometimes you just need to be in a room with other parents who get it.

Starting Monday, February 23rd, we're meeting every Monday from 10-11:30am at our Mishawaka office inside Roots & Wings Family Care Center (3550 Park Place W, Suite 300).

Drop in when you can. Bring your baby. Ask questions. Share what's working (or what's not). Find your people. ✨

No registration needed — just show up.

Breast, bottle, whatever — these cues apply to all babies. Watch for them, respond early, and feeding gets a whole lot easier.⁠

You don’t want to miss this!

✨ Mamas — don’t miss this! ✨

We still have 3 SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE for our upcoming ✨ Beyond the Latch ✨ class at Milk Guide 🤍
That means Mom + baby can attend completely FREE.

Beyond the Latch is a PT-led class focused on one important truth:
🤍 Feeding is more than just the latch — it involves your baby’s whole body.

In this class, we explore how:
👶 Positioning, strength, and mobility impact feeding
🤍 Tension, tightness, and asymmetries can affect comfort and efficiency
🍼 Supporting the body can support both breastfeeding and bottle feeding

These scholarships are offered first come, first served, and once they’re gone — they’re gone!

✨ What you’ll gain:
- Hands-on guidance for feeding-related positioning and movement
- A safe, welcoming space to ask questions
- Support from pediatric physical therapists and connection with other moms

If you’ve been wanting support but feel unsure where to start — this is your sign. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

👉 Comment below or send us a message to inquire.
We’ll let you know if you’re one of the first to receive access to Beyond the Latch at no charge 🤍

Supplements aren’t going to fix your milk supply issues. In some cases, they can actually make things worse.⁠
⁠
Your body doesn’t need more fenugreek or blessed thistle or whatever the internet is telling you to chug this week. What it needs is someone to figure out why your supply is low in the first place.⁠
⁠
Is your baby transferring milk effectively? Is there an oral function issue? Are you pumping with the right fl**ge size? Is your pump working properly? Are you dealing with hormonal factors that need attention?⁠
⁠
Throwing supplements at the problem is like putting a band-aid on a broken bone. You need someone to actually assess what’s going on — not just mask the symptoms.⁠
⁠
The sooner you get real support, the faster you can address the root cause and actually see improvement.⁠

You don’t have to wait until things are falling apart to get lactation support.⁠
⁠
Honestly, some of the best appointments we have are with parents who reach out before there’s a crisis. Preventing problems is way easier than fixing them when you’re already exhausted and spiraling.⁠
⁠
Whether you’re still pregnant and want to set yourself up for success, or you’re a few weeks in and just want someone to check that everything’s on track — that’s what we’re here for.⁠
⁠
Lactation support isn’t just for emergencies. It’s for every stage of your feeding journey.⁠
⁠
And of course, if you’re having an emergency, we’re here for that too.⁠
