Breastfeeding Class
(Marin)


Join us for an informative and experiential introduction to the joys, challenges and techniques involved in the amazing world of breastfeeding. While breastfeeding is an instinctive and natural way for mothers 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 breastfeeding relationship.

In this thorough 2 hour Breastfeeding Class, participants will learn:
  • Health benefits of breastfeeding for mom and baby
  • Basic anatomy and physiology of the lactating breast
  • Correct positioning and latch
  • How to support the nursing parent
  • Troubleshooting painful latches & knowing when to call for support  
  • 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.


This course is offered as a private class in clients homes
​and as a 
group class in a lovely space in San Rafael off Lucas Valley Road.
