Breastfeeding and Beyond the Breast

Breastfeeding 101:

Breastfeeding just comes naturally, right? Not always. Parents often need knowledge of how to get breastfeeding off to a great start and what they can expect along the way! This class covers it all - ideas for getting ready before the baby arrives, the early hours/days, signs of wellness (like diapers and weight gain), latch techniques and how to tell if a baby is actively eating, various positions and when to use them, and a bit about troubleshooting common problems that may arise (milk supply concerns, painful latch etc.)

Beyond the Breast:

This workshop covers all the tools needed beyond direct breastfeeding! We will talk about pumps and how to pump, flange sizing and shapes, how to choose bottles for a breastfed baby and how to feed those bottles, alternative feeding methods, when and how to use nipple shields if needed, discussions around pacifiers, and any other tools on the market that may (or may not!) be helpful in this journey! Hands-on session full of demonstrations!
