Breastfeeding Basics

You deserve the best possible start to breastfeeding! Feeding your baby is natural and normal, however it’s a skill like anything else and takes time to master.

Join me and other families-to-be to learn together about breastfeeding your baby. Your baby is the expert, and this class is designed to help you get a jump start on understanding your baby’s needs with confidence. Through understanding how to identify problems and work through common challenges, this class will help you feel empowered in your feeding journey. Learning how to listen to your intuition, how to get out of your baby’s way, and how to remain ready to meet your babies’ needs will set you up for success!

We will discuss:
- How the breast is designed
- How the system of milk production and milk removal works
- Easy steps to get the very best start possible
- Relationship between a good latch & milk flow
- On Demand vs Scheduled feedings
- Signs of a well fed baby
- Common Barriers to weight gain and milk supply and how to avoipd them
- Pumping and bottle feeding
- Ages and stages, what to expect
- Self Care for parents 
- Common Breastfeeding challenges, and when to get help

You may also learn about feeding in your childbirth/prenatal class. I design this class to cover information above and beyond what is taught is most prenatal/childbirth classes.

I look forward to learning with you!
