| Breastfeeding Essentials A Must-Have for New Parents. While breastfeeding, like birth, is a natural process, that doesn't mean it is without challenges. This course is designed to give participants some practical information before the birth to help mom and baby get the best chance at a good start with breastfeeding. Key topics for moms and partners to already know during the first nursing attempts with their new baby will be how to achieve a good latch (baby tummy, neck, chin, mouth, & tongue positioning relative to breast/nipple), avoiding and correcting a painful latch, how much colostrum (early milk) does a newborn need in the first days, and weight loss and gain expectations for the first few days and weeks of life. You can always get help from experts as needed, but you will be needing to attempt nursing many more times a day than someone will be available to assist, so knowing some reassuring and helpful basics before the birth is HIGHLY recommended. This class will also prepare expectant parents for some of the common challenges that nursing mothers may encounter throughout the first few weeks, such as: * nipple preparation * engorgement * positions of comfort * storing and heating breast milk * blocked ducts and breast lumps * going back to work and more.
Partners are strongly encouraged to attend. The class is offered every 4-6 weeks. Class fee covers mother plus one other caregiver and all materials, including helpful reference handouts and referrals for extra help after the birth. Advance registration is required. $65 per mom or couple 10% discount with Prenatal Basics Package 1 SPOT = 1 Mom or Couple
