Come connect and learn with us!

Are you planning to breastfeed your baby? One of the most common things families say is that they wish they would have come in sooner. Families who have solid prenatal education have much smoother transitions and initial visits are much less overwhelming because they were already prepared.

But it’s natural so it’s going to be easy right? Maybe but often takes time, education, and support. Childbirth is also natural, but no one is assuming that’s going to be easy right?

In this class you will learn:

  • Normal and not normal newborn behaviors

  • Proper latching and positioning

  • How to use a pump

  • How to establish and keep a healthy supply

  • Find out what you really need for baby

  • Red flags of when to seek a consult

Once a month we offer for a comprehensive, interactive class to learn all you need to know to get off to a great breastfeeding journey. Click the link below for dates and times.

Prenatal Breastfeeding Class

Join us for community and connection with other local parents who may be experiencing the same things as you. All are welcome, no matter how you are feeding your baby. Postpartum can feel like a lonely, hard place sometimes. Feeding infants is hard work. You are not alone.

This will be a laid back, judgement free, respectful setting. Feel free to weigh your baby and ask general breastfeeding questions.

Join us on the first Tuesday of the month from 10:00am - 11:30am.

No need to reserve a spot, just show up!
