This Prenatal Breastfeeding Class was made for you – with your needs in mind. How you can be more prepared, more confident and have more options – breast, bottle, pumping and formula feeding taught by The WOMB’s International Board Certified lactation consultants!
In this “essentials” class, you will:
learn how to establish a connection with your baby from the start
understand why skin-to-skin with your baby is so important to brain development, immune strength, temperature regulation and feeding cues in the early minutes, hours and days of your baby’s life
understand milk supply and how you can increase it (or decrease it)
learn how to hand-express (and what it is and why it’s so important!)
interpret newborn breastfeeding behaviour to make feeding an easier transition for all
discuss the role of partners in infant feeding
learn all-about-that-LATCH
be able to identify special situations and how to troubleshoot any challenges that may arise.
And ask all those myth busting questions you have!
