BREASTFEEDING PREP CLASS
Many new breastfeeding parents are surprised at just how many questions they have in the early days of breastfeeding. Though breastfeeding may seem instinctual, it can often take a lot of patience, practice, and practical support before you get the hang of it. The best way to prepare for a successful breastfeeding relationship with your new baby is to take a prenatal breastfeeding prep class!
Our classes cover everything you need to know to get breastfeeding off to the best start possible. Taught by a certified Breastfeeding Specialist with years of experience helping new parents breastfeed, these group classes are a casual, low-pressure, and fun way for you and your partner to learn all about how babies eat, how breastmilk works, and how you can meet your breastfeeding goals!
