Breastfeeding & Bottle Feeding Support Class in Lafayette: Weighted Feeds, Expert Help & Community for New Moms

Feeding your baby—whether through breastfeeding, pumping, or bottle-feeding—is one of the most beautiful yet challenging parts of early motherhood. And you shouldn’t have to navigate it alone.

At The Well Chiropractic & Lactation Support, I created a weekly Breastfeeding & Bottle Feeding Support Class in Lafayette to give moms a place to get real answers, hands-on help, and community—without the pressure, shame, or mixed messages so many families experience.

Hosted at Little Seeds in Lafayette, this class welcomes breastfeeding, pumping, and bottle-feeding moms, including those using formula. Every family deserves support, connection, and education that actually makes feeding feel easier.

What Is a Breastfeeding Support Class?

This class blends the benefits of a support group with the expertise of a lactation specialist and pediatric chiropractor (IBCLC & DC).

Instead of scrolling through forums at 3 am or wondering if things are “normal,” you get:

  • Real-time latch guidance

  • Hands-on positioning help

  • A weighted feed to measure how much baby transfers

  • Troubleshooting for pain, clicking, fussiness, or shallow latch

  • Bottle-feeding support for flow, positioning, and choosing bottles

  • Pumping tips

  • Space to ask anything without judgment

Whether feeding is going well or feeling overwhelming, this class helps you feel confident, supported, and informed.

Why Moms Love Our Weighted Feeds

Weighted feeds are one of the biggest reasons parents join this group.

A weighted feed lets us measure how much milk your baby transfers during a nursing session. You’ll get clarity on:

  • If baby is getting enough

  • How efficiently they’re feeding

  • Whether latch or positioning changes could help

  • When you should seek further 1:1 support

This one small tool gives parents so much peace of mind—and can be a game changer for early feeding confidence.

Support for Bottle-Feeding Parents (Yes, You’re Welcome!)

Not breastfeeding? Supplementing? Exclusively pumping?

You belong here.

Our class also provides:

  • Bottle-feeding support

  • Bottle flow rate guidance

  • Paced feeding technique

  • Help choosing the right bottle and nipple shape

  • Education on preventing gas, reflux, and choking with bottle feeds

Many families combine breastfeeding and bottle-feeding—and deserve support for both.

Led By an IBCLC & Pediatric Chiropractor

As a pediatric chiropractor and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I bring a whole-body, evidence-based approach to feeding.

I evaluate:

  • Baby’s latch and oral mechanics

  • Maternal comfort, posture, and nipple pain

  • Feeding positions that reduce strain

  • Body tension patterns that affect feeding

  • Signs of oral restriction, torticollis, or asymmetry

This means you get far more than a basic support group—you get clinical-level guidance in a supportive, warm setting.

Who This Class Is For

This class is perfect if you:

  • Want reassurance that feeding is going well

  • Are struggling with latch, pain, or clicking

  • Want to understand your baby’s feeding cues

  • Need help combining breastfeeding and bottle-feeding

  • Want connection with other local moms

  • Are experiencing fussiness, gassiness, or shallow latch

  • Want to track intake with a weighted feed

  • Are bottle-feeding and want expert guidance

Newborns, infants, and older babies are all welcome.

A Supportive Community for New Moms

Motherhood can feel isolating—especially in the early weeks.

This class creates a warm, judgment-free space for moms to connect, share experiences, ask questions, and feel truly supported.

You don’t need to show up put together. You don’t need to have it all figured out.

Just come as you are.
