Breastfeeding is a learned behavior.  We learn by looking, listening, and being surrounded by women that are breastfeeding their own children.  Many women give birth and are not surrounded by other women that are breastfeeding or have breastfed.  This course is designed for pregnant women that are interested in preparing for their breastfeeding experience.  The class will cover the following topics: 

• What to expect in the early days.
• What to expect in the early weeks.
• How the body makes milk.
• How to establish a full milk supply
• How to know you are making milk.
• When to seek help if needed.
• Where to seek help if needed.
• Latch techniques with hands on practice tools.
• Bring your questions!
