This class is being offered in person at our location.
Breastfeeding mothers need all the support they can get! Our class will offer you dozens of professional video clips, utilizing a powerpoint to follow along with instructor curriculum, step by step instructions, printouts, and weblinks. All Care Connection classes are small by design in order to provide personal attention.

Breastfeeding is the healthiest way to feed your baby. This natural but learned experience is made easier if you know what to expect! An experienced nurse practitioner/certified lactation consultant will help prepare you to breastfeed your baby during the first few weeks of life. Your partners are a GREAT SUPPORT and are welcome to join the class.
We will discuss:

Breastfeeding’s amazing health benefits for you and your baby
How breastmilk is made
What to expect in the hospital – “the first hour” with your newborn
Getting off to a good start, positioning and latch-on tips
How to identify hunger cues from your baby
How to know that your baby is getting enough milk
Dealing with newborn sleepiness, fussiness, and growth spurts
When pumping, supplementing and pacifiers are needed in the early weeks
Avoiding problems for new moms such as nipple pain or engorgement
Resources available to help when you have a question

We want to SUPPORT you in your breastfeeding journey! Our lactation consultants are available to help you with any questions or concerns. Please do not hesitate to call The Care Connection.
And, don’t forget about our second class, “Part II: Breastfeeding Beyond the Newborn Period”. You and your baby are invited to join a discussion and explore how breastfeeding evolves and life continues!
