Beginning Breastfeeding: Getting Off to a Good Start

First Tuesday of the month - 6:30 - 7:30p.m.
January 3, February 7, March 6, April 3, May 1
Breastfeeding is a learned skill for both mother and baby, and it takes some time to find your way. Knowing what to expect in the moments and first days after a baby is born is so important to feeling better prepared. Mary Oliver will be at Mama’s Hip monthly to educate and empower couples about beginning breastfeeding.
We'll discuss:

  • immediately after birth: skin-to-skin and the first latch
  • what if I have to have a c-section?
  • colostrum: the first milk
  • feeding cues
  • establishing and maintaining a good milk supply
  • sore nipples
  • after we get home: expectations and realities

The question-and-answer format of this breastfeeding class will allow the discussion to be personalized to participants’ particular concerns. Bring your partner and come get a jump on the learning curve!

Cost: Cost is $30 per couple
