prenatal breastfeeding class
prepare for breastfeeding with confidence!
A virtual prenatal breastfeeding class is held on the 3rd Saturday of every month, designed to help you feel prepared, informed, and supported before your baby arrives. This isn’t just another lecture about breastmilk—it's an interactive, engaging, and evidence-based class that helps you build the skills and confidence to feed your baby successfully.
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. Like any new skill, preparation and support can make all the difference in your success.
In this class, you'll learn:
✔ How breastfeeding works & what to expect in the first few 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 your postpartum support team
Breastfeeding Success Starts with Support
📊 Breastfeeding Statistics from the CDC:
83.2% of infants start out receiving some breastmilk
Only 45.3% are exclusively breastfeeding at 3 months
By 6 months, just 24.9% of babies are still exclusively breastfed
What does this mean? Having ongoing support from a lactation consultant (IBCLC) can significantly improve your breastfeeding experience and help you meet your feeding goals.
