This breastfeeding class is for pregnant couples and their families.
You may wonder why you need a class for breastfeeding?
I developed this class to prepare parents for the first two weeks: a time when so many things happen... and so many mothers just quit.
-Donna Bruschi
Get the best start whether you're planning a home or hospital birth.
This comprehensive class covers beginning breastfeeding, the introduction of solid foods and weaning.
How to prepare yourself and your family for breastfeeding (It's not what you think!)
Why postpartum bonding is the basis for breastfeeding
What skin to skin contact is, and is not
What makes a "good latch" good
How birth practices affect breastfeeding and what to do if things go sideways
How the other parent and grandparents fit into breastfeeding and recovery
It includes the book The First Five Days by Donna Bruschi, IBCLC
In addition, you may have questions about:
Selecting a breast pump, when to start and essential considerations for returning to work.
How to have a great milk supply, even if your breasts are small, even if you have twins, even if you're worried...
Pacifiers, safe bottle feeding, how often and how long to feed
Knowing signs that you NEED help and where to get it, and why it's not the Internet.
This class is taught by Donna Bruschi, IBCLC, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, La Leche League Leader and owner of New Baby New Paltz. She breastfed her 3 children, including twins. She shares her wisdom of two decades of helping mothers and babies get breastfeeding right for them.
For questions, please call/text Donna at (845) 750-4402
This 2 hour class is $100 per family in-person in Highland, NY. You may bring 2 other adults (your partner, grandparent, or nanny) so you are all on the same page with breastfeeding.
Payment is required to register. Refunds will be made until 7 days in advance. All other cancellations will receive store credit, or a make-up class.
No matter when your baby is due, you are probably thinking of all the things you need to have done for baby’s first weeks at home.
Whether you are actually doing it is another thing..."PROCRASTINATORS UNITE!"
