Our International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) will share information to help you and your baby get the best start for breastfeeding. Topics include benefits of breastfeeding, baby’s instinctive behaviors after birth, how to position and latch, what to expect the early days and beyond, early skin to skin between mom and baby and its effect on breastfeeding, some early challenges with breastfeeding, what to do if baby doesn’t latch, and more. Since all moms and babies are not the same, moms are given information and encouraged to do what works best for them with ongoing support from staff at BDCH.
The cost of the class is $10 for mom and support person.
