Virtual Lactation Class

‍

Feeding a newborn is a skill you learn together, and it helps to start with a little knowledge and a lot of support. This class gives you and your partner the information and resources to begin bodyfeeding with confidence in the early days and weeks of parenthood.

‍

What we’ll cover

• How milk production works: what your body is doing and when, from the first days through the weeks that follow
• Building a strong milk supply: simple habits that help you establish and protect your supply
• Latching and positioning: how to get comfortable, get a good latch, and know what “good” feels like
• Hunger cues and feeding patterns: what to look for in your baby and what a typical feeding rhythm looks like
• Partner support: practical ways your partner can help, both during feeds and around them
• Troubleshooting: common challenges like soreness, low supply worries, and fussy feeds, and what to try
• When to seek professional support: how to tell when it’s time to reach out, and who to call
