KINDNESS offers free infant feeding classes, open to anyone in Kodiak, that covers all aspects of infant feeding and can provide an individual prenatal consult with one of our IBCLCs.

KINDNESS Can Help…


  • KINDNESS calls you proactively at important feeding milestones after your baby is born, especially in the first weeks and months. We’ll ask you a few questions, and you can ask us anything about your baby’s growth or nutrition. If we don’t know the answer, we’ll refer you to someone who does. You can expect to hear from us around 2-3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year after your baby’s birth. If you prefer emails or texts rather than calls for these routine check-ins, just let us know !

  • KINDNESS can visit you in your own home as needed for in person help with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping breast milk, mixing or choosing formula, baby weight checks, infant feeding assessments and training, or even just moral support! 

  • KINDNESS offers short-term loans of hospital-grade breast pumps and digital infant scales. These loans provide peace of mind to families; they can track their infants’ growth between clinic visits during the fragile first month as feeding is being established and bridge the gap if families are waiting for a breast pump or unexpectedly separated from their newborn.

  • When challenges with infant feeding arise, it can make or break a situation to have the right tool at the moment you need it. KINDNESS keeps an inventory of tools and supplies not easily found on Kodiak to help you meet your goals, including single-user hand pumps, specialty bottles, a variety of breast pump flange sizes, cups, oral feeding syringes and finger feeding tubes, nipple shields, breast shells, and other items. Our Peer Counselors carry a selection of these items in their cars, for ready access at a home visit or same day delivery right to your door!

  • We teach the developmental approach to starting solids and introducing a cup, based on AAP infant nutrition recommendations. We offer a couple of options to fit your life!

    • Group Session, offered the first Thursday of every month: 6:30 – 7:30 pm,  Kodiak Public Library multipurpose room.

    • Individual Feeding Consults: Schedule a personalized session either virturally or in your own home with one of our experienced team members.
