Holistic Parenting Network's Online Peer Parenting Support

Holistic Parenting Network, LLC originated as a facebook group of friends (Breast Friends of WNY) who had their babies at similar times and were looking for more whole-life support than they could find at their local La Leche League meeting. Seven years later, HPN has become the largest holistic parenting support hub in the region, with over 2,400 local parents giving and receiving advice on a host of issues, including but not limited to: relationship struggles, family challenges, health and wellness support for the family, social supports, play date arrangements, single parenting support, special support for parents of children with special needs, and more! Also linked is our local Breastfeeding USA chapter, which offers free peer breastfeeding support online and in-person. Click here to connect with local Holistic Parents.
