   Breastfeeding: A Great Start!

It is your job as a new mother to make sure your baby will have a good nutritional start. With your choice to breastfeed, you have joined the majority of women who understand the evidence that breastfeeding is the best and most ideal way of feeding your baby.

Breastfeeding mothers need all the support they can get! Our class will offer you dozens of professional video clips, utilizing a state of the art DVD to follow along with instructor curriculum, step by step instructions, printouts and weblinks. Breastfeeding information handouts are available for use in class, for one-on-one consulting and, if you desire, for you to take home for continuous review.

Topics Include:
  • How Breastfeeding Works - Breastfeeding is natural, the early weeks, how your breasts make milk, the letdown reflex, how your milk changes, special situations
  • Latching on and Positioning - Getting off to a good start, mother & baby positioning, latching on, breastfeeding holds, feeding patterns
  • When To Feed Your Baby - Hunger signs, crying patterns, sleepy eaters, pacifiers and bottle feeding
  • How Much Is Enough? - How to know that your baby is getting enough milk, counting diapers, weight gain, feeding log, jaundice
  • Breast Care - Breast fullness, expressing your milk by hand, engorgement, blocked ducts, nipple care, sore & cracked nipples, breast infection
  • Breastfeeding Lifestyle - Taking care of yourself, family planning, diet for breastfeeding mothers, returning to work, expressing and storing your milk
