Breastfeeding Basics

You deserve the best possible start to breastfeeding!

Feeding your baby is natural and normal, however it’s a skill like anything else and takes time to master.

Join me and other families-to-be to learn together about breastfeeding your baby. Your baby is the expert, and this class is designed to help you get a jump start on understanding your baby’s needs with confidence. Through understanding how to identify problems and work through common challenges, this class will help you feel empowered in your feeding journey. Learning how to listen to your intuition, how to get out of your baby’s way, and how to remain ready to meet your babies’ needs will set you up for success!

We will discuss:
- Anatomy of the Breast, system of milk production and milk removal
- How to get the very best start possible
- Relationship between a good latch & milk flow
- On Demand vs Scheduled feedings
- Signs of a well-fed baby
- Avoiding Barriers to weight gain and milk supply
- Pumping and bottle feeding
- Ages and stages, what to expect
- Self Care for parents 
- Common Breastfeeding challenges, and when to get help

You may learn a bit about feeding in your childbirth/prenatal class. I have designed this class to cover information above and beyond what is taught is most prenatal/childbirth classes. Please join us!

Please register by emailing your info and “Breastfeeding Class” to the CMOH midwives at CMOH.classes@gmail.com - they will take payment and secure your spot!

I look forward to learning with you <3
