designed for expecting parents, this course is your essential prenatal guide to breastfeeding.
Are you feeling like you want to give breastfeeding a try but aren't sure, "if it will work for you". Have you heard stories from loved ones about not making enough milk? Or how much it hurts? Have you been looking forward to snuggling up with your little baby nursing, but feel apprehensive about whether, "you will be able to".
This class is for you.
Breastfeeding is natural — but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. This is your essential prenatal guide to breastfeeding, designed specifically for expecting parents who want real-world tools, up-to-date info, and gentle, holistic support.
Facilitated by a postpartum doula and lactation counselor, this class goes beyond the basics. You'll learn how to set yourself up for success before baby arrives, and how to navigate the early days of feeding with more ease, fewer surprises, and better outcomes for both you and your baby.
What You'll Learn:
💛 The foundations of milk production and how to support your body naturally
🍼 How to tell if your baby is actually feeding — not just latching
📦 How to prevent low supply, discomfort, and other common challenges
🤱 The exact recipe for a good latch and comfortable feeding
💡 Tips for thriving in those critical first 24-48 hours after birth
💧 Step-by-step hand expression techniques
🍼 Pumping, bottle feeding, burping — what you need to know
🚩 What to do when things don’t go to plan (like when baby won’t latch)
🌿 How to spot — and deal with — common issues like thrush and mastitis
🤝 Ways your partner and support team can actually help
🗣️ How to handle advice (good and bad) from friends, family & even strangers
This course takes a whole-person, whole-family approach, helping you feel informed, empowered, and supported as you prepare for one of life’s biggest transitions.
