Prenatal Breastfeeding Education

Although breastfeeding is natural, it doesn't always come easily and many prenatal birthing classes barely have time to touch on this important topic. Our prenatal classes are customized for you and your family to ensure you are off to the best start.

As Lactation Consultants our customized classes provide expectant parents with the knowledge and confidence to successfully breastfeed to prepare for the vital days, weeks and months after your baby's birth and include up-to-date information and insights into breastfeeding a baby and parenting in the early days.

Private prenatal breastfeeding education ensures that your family's individual breastfeeding plans are incorporated to ensure the highest rates of success by including:

high risk pregnancy
IVF pregnancy
expecting multiples
modifications to birthing plans to incorporate planned birth (vaginal vs planned cesarean section)
prenatal expression
inducing lactation for surrogate or gestational carrier births
mother's medical history
breast surgery (mammaplasty, augmentation, cysts, etc.)

Each prenatal lactation consultation includes unlimited follow up email and phone support.

Flat rate $75

At this time, articles are being published at least weekly as we work through the list of common concerns and special requests we have received from families throughout the last 10+ years. If there something that you don't see in the list above, or want further information about, we would love to write about it, please reach out and let us know.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How do I know my baby is getting enough breastmilk?

As long as baby is having plenty of heavy wet (clear urine) and lots of dirty diapers, you’re comfortably breastfeeding (an average eight feeds in a 24-hour span) and the baby is consistently gaining weight you can know that the baby is getting enough. Print out the photo from our blog, First Week: Breastfeeding Success Checklist, and check it off as you go for a great start!

Why are my nipples sore or cracking?

The first thing is to make sure there is a really good latch which will prevent this from happening and allow your nipples to heal. A little bit of tenderness, especially the first couple of weeks, is normal, but pain and cracking is a sign that the latch isn't quite right, the nipple is not being protected by the baby when latching and needs some further investigation. Be sure to check out the sore nipple video and reach out for any assistance.

How long should each feeding take?

While there is no set time for a baby to transfer enough breastmilk in a nursing session, it is important to understand the difference between non-nutritive suckling at the breast and when the baby is transferring and swallowing. The more efficiently the baby is transferring breastmilk, the faster the nursing session is going to be. Be sure to review our article, First week: Enough Breastmilk? for information and videos.

Can I take this medication while breastfeeding?

Certainly most medications, herbs or supplements these days that will be prescribed should be safe while breastfeeding. It is important to let your midwife, naturopath or doctor that you are breastfeeding so they can choose the best ones.

Also, be sure to take a look in Resources Articles (Blog) as there are many posts about different herbs, supplements and more, all fully referenced for your review and share with your healthcare team.

If you would like to know about a specific medication, herb or supplement and lactation, please check the LactMed® database (listed in the Resources section) or contact us to discuss.
