Prenatal Breastfeeding Class
Prenatal Breastfeeding Education & Preparation
Preparing to breastfeed can make a huge difference in your postpartum experience.
This prenatal breastfeeding class is designed to help you feel confident, informed, and supported before your baby arrives. Led by an occupational therapist and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), this class combines evidence-based education with a whole-body approach to infant feeding, early development, and maternal mental health.
Whether you plan to breastfeed, pump, combination feed, or simply want to understand your options, this class gives you practical tools to start strong — and know where to turn for support when you need it most.
Why take a prenatal breastfeeding class?
Many parents hear that “breastfeeding is natural.” While your body is designed to produce milk, breastfeeding is a learned skill that you and your baby develop together.
Preparation before birth can reduce pain, prevent common challenges, and help you feel more confident when your baby arrives.
In this prenatal breastfeeding class, you’ll learn:
How breastfeeding works and what to expect in the first days and weeks
How to achieve a comfortable, pain-free latch
Positioning techniques for optimal milk transfer
How to recognize if your baby is getting enough milk
When and how to introduce pumping and bottle feeding
How to troubleshoot common breastfeeding challenges
How to build a postpartum feeding and support plan
Breastfeeding Success Starts With Support
Breastfeeding outcomes are strongly influenced by access to skilled support.
📊 According to recent data:
83.2% of infants start out receiving some breastmilk
Only 45.3% are exclusively breastfeeding at 3 months
By 6 months, just 24.9% are still exclusively breastfed
What does this mean? Early education and ongoing support from an IBCLC can significantly improve breastfeeding success and reduce the risk of pain, low milk supply, and early weaning.

Ongoing Support After Birth
Many families continue care after birth through lactation consulting or infant feeding therapy and bodywork for babies, especially if challenges like pain, poor latch, reflux, or tension arise. Having an established relationship before delivery makes postpartum support smoother and more effective.
