Join us for an informative and experiential introduction to the joys, challenges and techniques involved in the amazing world of breast, chest and bottle feeding. While breast/chestfeeding can be an instinctive and natural way for parents to feed their babies, it almost always comes with a steep learning curve that requires patience and support to navigate. Accelerate that curve by learning beforehand what to expect, how to prepare, and what each member of the family can do to facilitate the feeding relationship. In this thorough 2 hour Breast, Chest & Bottle Feeding Class, participants will learn:
· Health benefits
· Basic anatomy and physiology of lactation
· Correct positioning and latch
· How to support the nursing parent
· Tips on initiating breast/chestfeeding in the first few days after birth
· How to read baby's cues, knowing when to nurse and when they're done
· Common challenges and how to avoid or address them
· Breast-pumps and bottle feeding
If the birthing parent is partnered, both parents are strongly encouraged to attend.
