Special Delivery Family Birthing Center

Breast Feeding

Creating the mindset that breastfeeding is best for mom, as well as baby, insures a positive breastfeeding experience for the entire family. This class helps parents become comfortable with their decision to breastfeed their baby.

The expectant mom is encouraged to bring her partner or support person so they may learn how to be helpful during the breastfeeding learning process that involves both baby and mom. A video covering positions, correct latch on, and other information will be shown if time allows. An opportunity for questions and discussion will be provided.

This class covers:

• Breast anatomy
  
• Establishing and maintaining milk production
  
• Nursing positions
  
• Latch-on techniques
  
• How to be confident that baby is “getting enough”
• Breastfeeding resources
