Get ready for breastfeeding!
Preparing for breastfeeding gets you off to a great start. A private prenatal class provides the information, skills and confidence you need for successful breastfeeding. The class is offered via Zoom by Beverley Rae, a board certified lactation consultant with more than 25 years experience.
Virtual classes are especially convenient if you’re on bed rest!
Breastfeeding in special situations
A prenatal class is empowering when planning for breastfeeding in special situations: when expecting twins and triplets, after breast reduction surgery, when breastfeeding was difficult with a previous baby, and for women with a chronic illness or disability.
Plan to take your class about 4 – 8 weeks before your due date. To schedule, call 516-365-4877 or email info@breastfeedingresources.net. When couples attend, the second registration is free.
Class Curriculum includes:
- Benefits of breastfeeding for mother and baby
- Five rules for successful breastfeeding
- Positioning and latch-on techniques
- Getting started in the hospital
- What to expect during the first weeks at home
- Avoiding common difficulties
- Nutrition for the nursing mother
- Managing a toddler and the new baby
- Partner’s role in successful breastfeeding
- Breastfeeding and returning to work
- Pumping and storing breastmilk
- Plenty of time for questions
No time for a class and baby is due any day?
