Breastfeeding Preparation Class
Designed specifically to teach you about breastfeeding before your baby is born.

This class is designed to teach you the main principles of breastfeeding in an engaging and enjoyable format.  I use innovative teaching techniques as well as DVD’s, powerpoint, hands on practice with dolls and breastfeeding cushions and lots of discussion so that you will feel much more knowledgeable and confident about breastfeeding. Partners are very welcome to attend the class at no extra cost, it is really helpful for both of you to understand how breastfeeding works. The class covers the following:

• How to know your baby is latched on correctly
  
• How to know your baby is getting enough milk
  
• How to know when your baby wants to feed and how long to feed for.
  
• What are the special properties of breast milk
