Free Beehive Feeding Circle

A free, drop-in feeding support group with a board-certified lactation consultant. Open to anyone navigating feeding — breast, bottle, combo, weaning, or anywhere in between.

Who it's for

Anyone navigating feeding their baby. Whether you're breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, pumping, combo-feeding, dealing with supply issues, working through a latch problem, introducing solids, or weaning — you're welcome here.

About Aarani

The Beehive Moms Feeding Circle is led by Aarani Montanari, IBCLC — a board-certified lactation consultant. Aarani brings clinical expertise to every session and works with families across the full feeding spectrum, including weighted feeds for babies whose growth needs closer attention. She's available during the group session for individual questions, latch checks, and weighted feeds.

What to bring

  • Your baby

  • Whatever you'd normally bring on an outing — diaper bag, bottle if you're using one, anything else you need

  • Your questions, big or small

Logistics

  • Free

  • In-person in Arlington Center

  • RSVP ahead of time so we know who is coming

Common questions we hear

  • "My baby is gaining weight slowly — is feeding the issue?"

  • "I'm in pain when I nurse. Is this normal?"

  • "How do I know if my baby is getting enough?"

  • "How do I introduce a bottle without hurting my supply?

  • "How do I start weaning?"

If any of these sound like questions you're asking — or another one — this is the right place.
