The experience of breastfeeding is special for so many reasons, including:
• The joyful closeness and bonding with your baby
• The specific nutrition only you can provide
• The health benefits for you and your baby
• The cost savings
Our breastfeeding class provides information and skills to enhance your breastfeeding experience and gain confidence through your and your baby's natural instincts.
Reminder: It is recommended that you take the Childbirth Class before taking the Breastfeeding class, as each class builds upon the other.
Topics include:
• Benefits of breastfeeding
• How milk is made
• The art of latching
• Pumping
• Milk storage
• Returning to work
• Taking care of Mom
• When to call for help
We asked those who have taken our Breastfeeding Classes what they found most helpful:
• "It was very education! Great PowerPoint presentation and helpful handouts."
• "The instructor was very knowledgable."
• "Learning about milk storage, correct bottle/nipple to use, and positions to breastfeed."
• "I found information about latching on and good and bad feeding time to be most helpful."
• "Accurate medical facts instead of hear-say."
