BREASTFEEDING BASICS FOR PARENTS

A comprehensive introduction to the basics of breastfeeding for parents to be!

Feel confident and prepared as you learn everything you'll need to enter your breastfeeding/chestfeeding journey!

This breastfeeding class is designed to introduce parents-to-be into the world of breast/chest feeding. In addition to feeding basics, what to expect, and how to set yourself up for your breast/chest feeding journey, we will also talk about how to best include the non feeding partner in this aspect of postpartum life. In this approach to learning about how to feed your baby with human milk, there will be very little lecture and lots of discussions about real life as it pertains to feeding your baby.
