Private Breastfeeding Class
Enjoy a Private Breastfeeding Session in the comfort of your own home or in office. I strongly believe that a woman needs to be able to expose her breast and be shown how to hold her breast. The classroom setting is good for the basics and general information, but a personal one-on-one session can equip a mother for unique issues that might arise that she can prepare for prior to birth. From wearing a hospital gown to reviewing the first week's feeding log, we can help moms feel confident and prepared for their breastfeeding experience.
Topics Include:
- Preparing for Breastfeeding: Breast Changes, Breast/Nipple Exam and Milk Production Health History
- Milk Production: From Colostrum to Weaning
- Hospitalization: Getting Through the Hospital Bottle-Free
- Positioning: Skin-to-Skin, Cross Cradle, Cradle, Football, Side-lying, Reclined After Vaginal or C/Section
- Personalized questions/concerns like Pumping, Going back to work, Hand Expression, Flat/Inverted Nipples, Etc.
- Finally, the mother can also enjoy check ups via email or phone from birth to 6 weeks and beyond to answer any questions/concerns that may develop. Free!
