Breastfeeding 101
A self-paced, online class that helps expecting moms feel confident feeding their baby from day one — taught by a international board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC).
Feeding your baby is one of the most challenging parts of being a new mom, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Breastfeeding may be natural, but it doesn’t always come easy.
Almost every breastfeeding mom asks themselves at some point: Is my baby getting enough? Am I doing this right? Why am I in pain? Why isn’t my baby latching?
Feel confident knowing exactly what’s normal and what’s not.
