This class is offered to all pregnant people interested in learning more about breastfeeding/chestfeeding between the 33rd to 37th week of pregnancy. If this is your 1st baby or you have breastfed before & need a refresher on new information available, the information you need is condensed in a fun, informal class. Your partner is encouraged to attend, as well as any other family members. This comprehensive class includes: breast care & problems, positioning & latch-on, how often/how long to nurse, how to determine if your baby is getting enough, pumping/storing milk and more.
Please note that a scholarship fund is available for people who meet the income requirements.
