Afterglow New Parent Group is our weekly drop-in group where new moms come together to share the roses and thorns of this stage of motherhood.

Afterglow groups are co-facilitated by a team of parents who’ve been there and know how hard it can be to navigate those long days and nights with a new baby. And we've got some new facilitators to introduce!

We are pleased to introduce Laela Kashan (she/her) who will be facilitating our Saturday sessions! Laela is a new mom learning to navigate the professional world and motherhood. She is an attorney by education and an advocate by calling. An Afterglow attendee, she saw the gap in support for 9-5 working moms and wanted to help fill that gap, which led her to becoming an Afterglow facilitator. Laela's favorite days are spent in nature with loved ones and her dog or dancing the night away at a salsa event.

Every family deserves the opportunity to succeed with breastfeeding.

That means access to skilled lactation support after leaving the hospital, workplace policies that truly support pumping and feeding, and communities committed to protecting breastfeeding.

Together, we can build systems that support families—not just during the first days, but throughout their entire feeding journey.

Excited to be speaking at Lactation on the Levee today about Diet Culture and Breaatfeeding. There are so many doing great work out there in our communities!

Real change in breastfeeding doesn’t happen by chance—it happens with support that works 💜

From stronger policies… to paid leave… to peer support in communities—these are the things that actually help families meet their goals.

At Bonnie Knows Breast, I bring that same evidence-based, compassionate support to you—because you deserve care that works in real life.

Afterglow groups are co-facilitated by a team of parents who’ve been there and know how hard it can be to navigate those long days and nights with a new baby. And we've got some new facilitators to introduce!

First up is Meg Byron (she/her). Meg found a passion for breastfeeding and empowering mothers after becoming a new mom herself! Her breastfeeding journey was a life-changing experience that fueled her drive to change career paths. She’s currently interning with Bonnie Knows Breast as she works towards her IBCLC certification, growing and learning with her 2 young boys, and crafting and playing outside every chance she gets!

Many parents think:

“I don’t need a lactation consultant because breastfeeding isn’t hurting.”

But feeding support isn’t only about pain.

It's World Breastfeeding Week 2026!

Breastfeeding begins long before the first latch—it starts with education, support, and access to skilled care.

While exclusive breastfeeding has increased globally to 47%, early initiation within the first hour remains at just 48%, reminding us that many families still need better support from the very beginning.

This year's theme, "Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works," is a call to invest in the people and practices that help families succeed.

Every feeding journey deserves compassionate, evidence-based support.

Today is the first day of World Breastfeeding Week 2026!

Every breastfeeding journey deserves evidence-based support. 💛 This World Breastfeeding Week 2026, let's celebrate the progress we've made while continuing to strengthen the systems that help families thrive.

Breastfeeding changes lives—and tracking what works helps us support even more families. I'm proud to stand with the global community in promoting evidence-based lactation care and advocating for every family's feeding goals. Together, we can protect, promote, and support breastfeeding—for healthier babies, parents, and communities.

Our next Afterglow Foundations series begins next week on Thursday, August 6!

If you gave birth in June or July this summer and are looking for your community, this is the place for you. Afterglow Foundations brings together trusted community experts to guide you through this 4th trimester season with evidence-based education and real-life support.

And just as important as the education is the COMMUNITY. A consistent group of parents walking through the same stage alongside you. Because the strongest foundations aren’t built in isolation.
