Community
Parenting happens in community. The day to day joys and struggles of parenting should be shared in a loving, supportive and kind community. Sea Lactation is just such a space. Parenting as a trans-person can include a successful nursing relationship with your child and that relationship can take many forms from direct nursing/chest-feeding, using a SNS, expressing milk and bottle feeding or a myriad of other options. Sea Lactation is a space to share your experiences, get encouragement and advice, a space to vent and a space to laugh and learn. Sea Lactation is 100% free and available to any trans-parent or parent to be.

We use an encrypted electronic health record software called Healthie for Sea Lactation. Your picture is stored in Healthie and connected to your intake form so that we can verify it is you on the day of the meeting. This adds another layer of security in an online space that ensures that person in the group is the person who signed up. Your photo will never be shared or downloaded. It will always live in the Healthie system only.
