Prenatal Lactation Program
Give yourself the best chance at nursing!
$300
Most parents treat breastfeeding as something you learn on the job, or wait and see about. The research says otherwise: parents who take a prenatal breastfeeding class breastfeed for longer, are more likely to breastfeed exclusively, and feel markedly more confident doing it. This is a 2–2.5 hour in-home session with one of our lactation consultants — who are also naturopathic doctors — so you walk into your first feeds prepared rather than guessing.
What you'll learn
- What to expect in the first week of life: when your milk comes in, cluster feeding
- The basics: latch and positioning
- How to eliminate pain, boost milk supply and overcome a rocky start
- Pumping and bottles: learn how to pump, how to avoid bottle preference and safely store your milk
- Includes a take-home workbook
Taught in your home, on your schedule, with a practitioner you can keep working with after baby arrives.
