Prenatal Breastfeeding Class

  • Why take a breastfeeding class before the baby is born?

    Many new mothers do not have direct, personal knowledge of breastfeeding. They also may find it hard to rely on family members for consistent, accurate information and guidance about infant feeding.

     

    Research shows parents who take classes during and after pregnancy and attend groups or private lactation consultations have more exclusive rates and longer duration of breastfeeding. 

  • Practical Tips for Breastfeeding Success

    Our instructors are dedicated mothers and educators who have gone through similar concerns and complaints as the breastfeeding parents we see in our private practices in the hospital and office. 

     

    We have an accumulated experience of over 30 years of helping mothers breastfeed. We know what is needed to transition from the exhaustion of the immediate days after giving birth and being at home feeling confident.

     

    We'll give you a toolkit to understand when the baby is getting enough milk, how to make enough breastmilk, caring for sore nipples, prevention of plugged ducts and mastitis, proper milk collection and storage guidelines.

"I really loved this workshop. I wasn't sure what to expect but it happened that it was full of very rich information, concrete and useful. It covers everything single  you want to know about breastfeeding and makes you leave it with no more questions and being very reassured about the breastfeeding. I'm so happy I attended this workshop! Thank you !"
