Breastfeeding: Getting a Great Start

There’s so much confusing and often conflicting information about breastfeeding out there. Let’s spend a Saturday afternoon learning how to get the best start on your lactation journey!

This class will cover the basics of:

  • how our bodies make milk

  • milk composition in the early days/weeks

  • the “Golden Hour” and first latch

  • proper latching techniques and positions

  • breast and nipple care

  • how to know your baby is getting enough milk

  • how to support the lactating parent

The instructor is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with more than 8 years of experience supporting new families on their breastfeeding journeys, first as a doula and then as an IBCLC.

This class is $125 and includes admission for you and a partner/support person. We encourage the non-lactating partner/support to attend so they can know how best to offer help!

We will have water, coffee, tea, and light snacks available. Please feel free to bring your own snacks/drinks!
