Latching and letdown and pumping, oh my!
Lactation Education
Breastfeeding is free, convenient, and the most nutritious thing for your baby. But it’s not always straightforward from the get-go. We will spend most of our time focusing on breastfeeding in the first few days and weeks after birth.
Topics include:
- Benefits for mom and baby
- Anatomy and Physiology of Breastfeeding
- Breastmilk Composition
- Let Down Reflex
- Latch
- Positioning
- Hand Expression
- Frequency Feeding
- Nipple Care
- What to do when baby won’t latch
- Hunger Cues
- Support and Planning
- Pump parts
- Maximizing milk expression
- Introducing a bottle
- When and how to start building up a “freezer stockpile” of milk
- Safe handling, storage, and warming guidelines for breastmilk
- FAQ’s
- Course Contains Photo and Video Demonstration
Our in person class is approximately two hours and offered privately. When an in-person class isn’t an option, however, or when you simply can’t fit another thing into your already packed schedule, you can take our online breastfeeding course right from the comfort of your own home.
