 The Private Prenatal "Everything You Need to Know About Breastfeeding" Class

  • The Golden Hour – Making your baby’s first time at breast a success even if you’ve had a c-section.
  • Establishing a Good Milk Supply – Why frequency matters more than quantity.
  • Hospitals & their Hidden Obstacles – From IV drips & tethered births, to baby baths & hospital beds, ways that hospital policies can hinder breastfeeding.
  • What to Expect – From growth spurts to dirty diapers, what’s normal and what isn’t.
  • Getting More Sleep - How cribs & schedules can interfere with a mother’s sleep.
  • What Dad Can Do – How dad’s role changes over the first six months.
  • Shower Gifts and Gadgets – Which ones help and which ones can actually interfere with breastfeeding.
  • How to bottle feed a breastfed baby – When to introduce a bottle & how to bottle feed correctly.
  • Friends & Foes – Handling visitors, including the naysayers.
  • Avoiding Post Partum Depression – Tips for minimizing the baby blues.
  • Solids & Weaning – Why looking at the baby is more important than looking at the calendar.

"I want to thank you for a wonderful breastfeeding class last night.  I must say your class helped me feel much more at ease with not only breastfeeding, BUT birth... I guess you never know when something will bring a person to that "next" level, but you have got me thinking and starting to believe in myself more as a women who can birth and breastfeed."

"THANK YOU, THANK YOU!"
