Description
While breastfeeding is natural, it doesn't come naturally to every mom and baby! Taking a breastfeeding class and educating yourself will help set you up for success in those early days and weeks. This class will teach you the basics of breastfeeding from how to breastfeed, how to know your baby is getting enough milk, common breastfeeding concerns, continuing the journey at home, and so much more. Our goal is to ensure that you and your baby have a positive breastfeeding experience and the support you need to continue breastfeeding for a long as you wish.
Partners/Coaches encouraged to attend! Learn how partners can provide breastfeeding support.
We suggest that the ideal time to take classes is during an expectant parent's third trimester. Classes will help prepare you for welcoming your new baby into your family.
Registration and online payment are required. The registration fee includes the expectant parent and one support person. Register the expectant parent only.
