Parent courses
I offer online, on-demand courses for parents. They can be a great option if you're not sure you need an in-person visit, you want to learn the basics, or you're trying to work through some issues on your own.
ONLINE COURSE
Prenatal Breastfeeding Class
Want to breastfeed? Get prepared.
Breastfeeding often takes new moms (and seasoned moms) by surprise, and challenges in the early days are common. Most mothers who wean in the first 6 weeks did not want to stop.
Prepare for breastfeeding before your baby arrives to increase your chances of success. This course is comprehensive and thorough. It goes beyond why you should consider breastfeeding and into the practical information on how to breastfeed. So many women tell me things they wish they'd known about breastfeeding, looking back on their experiences. This course is all of that wisdom, compiled in one place.
