Our private, prenatal breastfeeding class is perfect for expectant moms who are planning to breastfeed and wish to get off to a good start with breastfeeding. Breastfeeding classes take place in the privacy of your own home and can be scheduled at a time that is convenient for you. All breastfeeding classes are taught by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and allow for an in-depth discussion about your upcoming breastfeeding journey. This includes: preparing your personal Breastfeeding Success Plan, the basics of a good latch, tips on positioning, and an opportunity to get all of your breastfeeding, and pumping questions answered.

- Discussion surrounding your goals and concerns about breastfeeding
- Help with your birth plan to include steps for breastfeeding your baby immediately after delivery
- Help with a ‘back up plan’ in the event breastfeeding is not initiated immediately after delivery or complications arise soon after
