Breastfeeding 101 (Virtual)

How will you know that your baby is getting enough milk? What’s the difference between colostrum and milk, and when can you expect to transition from one to the other? Which breast pump is best? How do you safely store milk once you’re successfully pumping….and when is it okay to start?

Challenges with breastfeeding are common in the beginning, but how do you solve them? We’ll cover the answers to all of these questions during our 90-minute course taught LIVE by an experienced IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). 

This class is a small-group, personalized workshop with a “consult” feel. You’ll have the opportunity to interact directly with the instructor face-to-face via Zoom, as well as connect with other moms-to-be.
