Key topics we’ll cover include:
Establishing Milk Supply: We’ll start with a quick overview of how your body produces and regulates milk supply. Understanding this process is key to ensuring that your baby gets the nourishment they need, especially in the crucial early days after birth.
The Reality of Breastfeeding at Home: Breastfeeding doesn’t always go exactly as planned, and that’s okay! We’ll dive into the day-to-day realities of breastfeeding, discussing common challenges like latch issues, nipple pain, and feeding schedules. You’ll gain practical tips on how to overcome these hurdles and make breastfeeding a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for both you and your baby.

The Role of the Non-Nursing Parent: Breastfeeding is a team effort, and the non-nursing parent plays a crucial role in supporting this journey. We strongly encourage both parents to attend this class, as we’ll discuss ways for the non-nursing parent to assist with feedings, provide emotional support, and help create a positive feeding environment. From preparing bottles to soothing the baby during feedings, there are many ways they can contribute to making the magic of baby feeding happen.
Overcoming Common Challenges: Breastfeeding can sometimes come with unexpected challenges, but you don’t have to face them alone. We’ll talk through common issues such as low milk supply, mastitis, and difficulties with latch, offering solutions and resources to help you overcome these obstacles with confidence.
Creating a Feeding Plan: By the end of the class, you’ll have the knowledge to create a feeding plan that works best for your family. This plan will include breastfeeding goals, strategies for incorporating bottle feeding, and tips for ensuring that both parents are involved and supported in the feeding process.
This class is perfect for expecting parents who want to be fully prepared for the realities of breastfeeding and infant feeding. With practical advice, real-life insights, and a strong emphasis on teamwork, you’ll leave feeling ready to take on the challenges and joys of feeding your baby.
