Lactation Support

Breastfeeding is one of the most beautiful and intimate experiences a mother and baby can share—but that doesn’t mean it always comes easily. Despite what many expect, breastfeeding doesn’t always feel “natural” right away. In reality, it’s a learned dance between two people who are just getting to know each other.
When a baby is born, both mom and baby are meeting for the very first time, learning how to connect, communicate, and feed in a completely new way. It takes time, practice, patience—and often, expert support.
​
That’s where we come in.
​
At Schwenn Family Chiropractic, we understand the joy and frustration that can come with the breastfeeding journey. Dr. Schwenn is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). She brings both clinical training, personal experience having nursed both of her kiddos, and a compassionate, family-centered approach to support moms wherever they are in their breastfeeding experience—whether they’re just beginning or facing unexpected challenges along the way.
​
You don’t have to do it alone. With evidence-based guidance and heartfelt encouragement, we’re here to walk beside you as you and your baby learn this new rhythm together.

In an effort to bring lactation education and support to all those who are seeking it, we host a monthly breastfeeding class called "Bellies & Bites" at Goldfinch Tap + Eatery in the heart of Marion!
​
Whether this is your first baby or you're a seasoned pro, whether you've just found out your expecting or your birth bag is already packed - our class is open to all expecting mothers and their partner (or support person) who are wishing to breastfeed.
This free resource for expecting couples occurs on the third Tuesday of each month beginning at 6pm. Enjoy a wonderful meal on us and learn the ins and outs of pregnancy, breastfeeding, and beyond in an intimate setting with a maximum of 5 couples per month.
Spots fill quickly so if you're expecting and would like to attend - make sure to RSVP! Use the RSVP button to reserve your spot!
