Feeding Your New Baby

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 quit. 

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!)
• 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
• Postpartum bonding
• How the other parents fits 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.
