Lactation Classes and Counseling
Prenatal Lactation Class
Many parents go into pregnancy knowing whether or not they want to breast/chest feed their babies. For those who wish to breastfeed or chest feed, early education may be key. We live in a society where technology has infiltrated many aspects of our lives. While there are numerous benefits, one downside is having to discern whether information is accurate or not. This is true for lactation information too.
There are hundreds of blogs, websites, and groups filled with lactation education. So how do we navigate this and determine what’s factual or most up-to-date? How do we learn what to expect or ways to navigate the unexpected?
Breast/Chestfeeding is a learning curve! While it may be natural, it’s not always instinctual for us. There are a plethora of factors that come into play when it comes to getting the right start. This is why I offer a 3 hour comprehensive, evidence-based, lactation class that covers all of the bases! There’s no need to sort through 12 blogs to find what you need, when you can get it right in the comfort of your own home OR in a class setting. With both weekday and weekend availability, this class is designed to fit your needs. During this class you can expect to learn many things which include but are not limited to:
- Anatomy
- Nipple evaluation
- Positioning and (there’s more than one!)
- How to successfully latch baby
- How to evaluate a feed
- Complications and how to navigate them
- Sore nipples
- Engorgement
- Nipple confusion
