Breastfeeding MattersTM: simple "natural laws" for breastfeeding success

 

Mama's milk is one of the best gifts you can give your baby.  Get the tips you need to get a great start on this wonderful way of nurturing your baby!  This class presents the 7 "natural laws" of breastfeeding that help give you the tools to establish breastfeeding successfully.  Supporting moms who want to breastfeed is an essential part of our Philosophy of Care.

 

Breastfeeding MattersTM: preparing for breastfeeding success


This class shows how the birth experience you have directly impacts your breastfeeding relationship.  There will be plenty of time for your questions about birth and breastfeeding.  Husbands encouraged to attend! You will learn:

  • how the events that occur during birth directly influence the ease of establishing and maintaining breastfeeding.  (When you understand how important birth is, you will be motivated to strive for a natural childbirth!)
  • tips on how to get started with breastfeeding, no matter what your birth experience is like
  • the 7 "natural laws" that help make breastfeeding simple, based on the excellent breastfeeding guide, Breastfeeding Made Simple, by Nancy Mohrbacher, IBCLC and Kathleen Kendell-Tackett, Ph.D., IBCLC (used by permission)
