This 2 hour class will teach you the basics of breastfeeding including correct latch on, positions for breastfeeding, how to know your baby is getting enough, ways to address common difficulties and avoid problems, the benefits of breastfeeding, pumping, storing breast milk and more!

  You should be finished with your classes by your 36th week of pregnancy.  
     
  Evening classes are available.  
     
  Fee is to be paid at time of registration.  Prepaid class fees will be applied to a later service only if 24 hour or greater notice is given prior to start of class time.

  Follow Up Office Visit Postpartum - $50.00 - Fee due up front on date of service  
     
  ESTABLISHED CLIENTS - Though most breastfeeding challenges and problems can be greatly improved with only one visit, some more challenging problems may require more than one visit. As well as new problems can develop at a later time in the breastfeeding relationship. Concerns about returning to work, pumping, milk supply issues, breast or nipple discomfort, introduction of solids (optimal nutrition from 6-12 months), fussy/colic baby, reflux, weaning and other issues may require a follow-up visit. Workplace pumping recommendations are personalized with your job and work situation in mind. Instructions on when and how to pump in order to protect your supply and insure your baby continues to get the best possible nutrition even though mom has to return to work. How to get started: Which pump is best for your job, which bottles work best for baby to transition back and forth from breast to bottle, how to introduce the bottle, how to pump and store breast milk, and the logistics of pumping in the workplace. This visit is best when the baby is nursing well and gaining well after the 3rd week, but before the 6th week.  
     
  Approx. 30-45 minutes.
