Breastfeeding Support Services

Consultations, Classes, and More

Support is vital to breastfeeding success. If you are having a hard time adjusting to becoming a full-time mom, consider getting breastfeeding and lactation support services from A Caring Embrace in League City, TX. We provide breastfeeding support via in-home lactation consultations, hospital-grade breast pump and infant scale rentals, classes, and a free online and in-person support group. This is just the beginning, too. In the future, we aim to offer more services that focus on the well-being of the entire family unit.

A Caring Support System for Mothers

We support all forms of providing breast milk: direct from the breast, exclusively from the pump to the bottle, or requiring specialty items and supplementation. Our lactation consultations are ideal for mothers experiencing difficulties in breastfeeding, either perceived or actual. Having other mothers that are breastfeeding and experiencing the same issues and triumphs together carries a mom much further. This is what we offer at A Caring Embrace—a safe, encouraging, community of support.

Classes

Latch and Chat: Breastfeeding Support Group (75 Minutes)

Latch and Chat believes:

Breastfeeding is not all or none.
It rarely goes "As planned" .
Formula is not evil.
EVERY ounce counts whether that be at breast, via bottle, or half formula and half breastmilk.
Breastfeeding/ Pumping is not always easy- but IT'S WORTH IT!

It is a casual mom to mom breastfeeding and pumping group that meets weekly and also offers support online to moms not in the Houston, TX area. Meetings are held in League City, TX; Galveston, TX; and Friendswood, TX. Any expectant mom or current breastfeeding/pumping mom and infant can come meet other breastfeeding and pumping moms in the area! Due to space limitations and subject sensitivity we ask you only bring the breastfeeding child and yourself. Here is a way for you to get out of the house and have a conversation with other grownup women! WHY: A Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) or IBCLC in-training will be at every meeting to help with latch and answer questions. A baby scale will be available for pre and post feed weights- now you can see exactly how much baby is eating!"

*Any breastfeeding mom and infant. (If your child is sick or running a fever, we ask you skip that week and come to the next one.)

*This is NOT a substitute for a pediatrician appointment and/or does not provide a full lactation assessment and troubleshooting session with an IBCLC. If you are having issues with breastfeeding or pumping, we encourage you to make an individual appointment with any IBCLC in the area in addition to attending this group.

We are currently meeting at the Helen Hall Library in League City on Sundays from 1:15 PM to 2:30 PM. Join our Facebook group or follow us on Instagram for the most up-to-date information.
