| Breastfeeding... Naturally the best for your Baby! But… breastfeeding doesn’t always just happen “naturally”. Most women need information, education, and support, and that is why Prenatal Breastfeeding classes are a great choice. My classes are designed to help you gather the information you need to be successful and the tools you need to bestow confidence. The classes are designed as a monthly series of four , one hour classes. You may choose the class you are most interested in, or all four. You may take all in one month, 2 a month, or one a month… however it best fits into your schedule! I am a Registered nurse, a Certified Lactation Education Counselor, and a mom of three Breastfed children. I have worked out of the home with all three, so I am knowledgeable on the unique challenges faced by moms who must return to work. Come and join me, and learn how your body really is made for feeding your baby, and mother your baby in the closest way possible… by breastfeeding! Items covered within each session: Session A: Just why is breast best?, Risks of artificial baby milk, Divine design, Maternal nutrition, Myths, Health benefits for mom and baby. Session B: How the breast makes milk, Will I make enough?, Often imitated.. But never duplicated!, Exactly what is in Breast milk….. And why it’s unique to your baby!, How will I know if my baby is getting enough?. Session C: Getting started : the ABC’s of position and latch ( aka, how to do it right so it doesn’t hurt!!), Common concerns and special challenges, Reading my baby’s cues, How DAD can help! Session D: Working and breastfeeding, Pumping and storage, Medications and breastfeeding, Getting out and about, Products that make life easier, Support and Resources. As a mom, I know that learning how to breast feed before the baby gets here is a great way to start, and for many mothers, things go well from day one. But what about after the baby gets here?? The session on support and resources will give you a few ideas on how to find support…. But most moms need woman to woman, face to face support. If you are having challenges or just have questions, ask about the Drop in Breastfeeding Consultations held at Mommy Matters on Monday mornings. I can usually help clear up most common concerns and answer your questions in a very short time! If you and your baby desire a more personal setting and more time with your concerns, you may schedule private consultation with me at your home. |
