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 private prenatal classes are tailored for you and your family ensure you are getting the best start on your lactation journey.

Our Lactation Consultants will build customized classes that 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:

first time parents
high risk pregnancy
IVF pregnancy
expecting multiples
modifications to birthing plans to incorporate planned birth (vaginal vs planned cesarean section)
prenatal expression
inducing lactation
surrogate births
gestational carrier births
mother's medical history
breast surgery ( mammoplasty , augmentation, cysts, etc.)
known medical conditions of baby
any other concerns or questions
