Classes
I believe that all parents should be educated and feel fully prepared when entering into parenthood. Consequently, I teach both private and group classes.
I teach Lactation classes to expecting parents. I go from the anatomy of the breasts/lactating chest through milk production and proper latch. I encourage both expectant parents/ nursing parent and support person to attend the class.
I have a combo Lactation and Post Partum Class that goes over everything in my Lactation only class as well as go through what to expect the first 6 weeks postpartum.
**I also teach Newborn Care classes to expectant families. I go through all the basics such as swaddling, bathing and diapering, as well as what to expect with your newborn. I do this to help new families feel more informed and comfortable when welcoming their new family addition. My classes are not limited to expectant parents (birth or adoptive); Participants of that class can include grandparents and any other support person that will be helping with the care of the new baby. Note that I also touch on some post partum teaching in my Newborn class.
**This is my most popular class. However I do conduct a more detailed and in depth Post Partum/Life After Pregnancy class.
I also offer a Sibling Class for families going from one to more.
Contact me directly if you are interested in my Newborn Care, Breastfeeding/Lactation, Post Partum or Sibling Classes.
