Breastfeeding 101
The prenatal class that helps you start strong - before your baby even arrives.
Breastfeeding might be natural, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. In this down-to-earth, info-packed class, you’ll learn what to expect, how to handle the hard stuff, and how to feel confident feeding your baby from day one (instead of overwhelmed and googling at 3am).
Because being prepared changes everything.
What You’ll Learn in Breastfeeding 101:
How to latch, position, and build milk supply from the start
What to expect in the first hours, days, and weeks
How to know if your baby is getting enough milk
Tips for handling common challenges like pain or low supply
How your support person can help during feedings
How and When to start Pumping or Bottle Feeding if you choose
Confidence to advocate for your feeding goals
Plus: Live Q&A, take-home resources, and a Superbill for possible insurance reimbursement
