Hey, all! If you know me at all, you know I'm a teacher by nature. I've been doing this teaching gig in different capacities for a looong time! Even though I am no longer in a traditional classroom, I can't kick this passion I have for effective education. Breastfeeding may be natural, but that doesn't mean it's always easy! That's where this breastfeeding class comes in!
I've created this class by covering some of the most pressing concerns that new families have communicated with me. It's got strong bones, but it's also parent-led. That means we'll discuss all of these wonderful things IN ADDITION TO any questions or concerns you may have about breastfeeding.
^^And there is so, so much more!
Can't make it to my group class in person? No problem! I also offer prenatal lactation consults that go over the same information as well as your personal history and breastfeeding goals. Bonus - they are often covered 100% through insurance!
