Stack the odds in your favour to breastfeed successfully. This 2 hour course is intended to educate both expectant moms and their partners in a biologically normal function that isn’t as common or familiar to many parents today. Course material will take you through the benefits for mom and baby, breast anatomy (there's more than meets the eye), understanding how and when your body will produce milk, potential challenges you'll face, how to prepare for or avoid those challenges, how to latch baby well, positioning, feeding cues, practical ways your partner can support you and still bond with baby, and more! Bring a notebook, prepare to laugh and ask questions.

Each 2+ hour class is $25 for mom + partner from 6:30pm to 9pm. Choose one:

Each set of classes covers up to 8hrs of instruction with a movement and snack break.

This course contains the same non-biased Lamaze content as the group classes. A private class can be scheduled for you and your support person, or as a small group with up to three couples.

Completed in one or two sessions on days and times mutually convenient for all parties, this is up to 8hrs of instruction. Usually done in-person in your home, classes can also be done online.
