Breastfeeding

Available Online & In-Person

Description
Taught by an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), this is a 2-hour class. The evidence-based information will help educate expectant parents about the art of breastfeeding and its benefits to both mom and baby, while building confidence in women that breastfeed. Learn how to have a positive experience and get breastfeeding off to a good start with proper latch-on techniques, nursing positions, engorgement prevention, as well as milk expression and proper storage. This class is open to all expectant parents.
