Breastfeeding Ready is a live, interactive prenatal class that covers how to prepare for baby’s arrival, what to do immediately after birth to increase the likelihood of a good latch and plentiful milk supply, what to look for in the first few days and weeks to ensure all is going well and when to call for help. This class is for anyone who plans to nurse/breastfeed/chestfeed/lactate/pump AND their partner or support person should attend as well--it may actually be more important for the partner/support person! Ideally, you'll be done with all prenatal classes by 36 weeks or so.
What's included in class?
The content of human milk and why it is powerful
What to look for in pregnancy as signs your body is preparing to make milk
Hand expression of colostrum and milk: when, how and why
How to start your nursing relationship off to the best start at birth
Hand expression of colostrum and milk: when, how and why
How to get a deep latch and comfortable positions for feeding your baby

What partners and others can do to help (including learning some massage techniques!)
How to know when baby is getting enough
How to prevent and treat some of the most common issues that come up in the early weeks of nursing a new baby like sore nipples, slow weight gain, low milk supply, tongue-tie, supplementation, normal newborn feeding cycles, bottlefeeding other alternative feeding methods
When to call in a professional (and who to call)
What you need and don't need (products)
A quick demonstration of the use of a breastpump and discussion of milk storage
What you can drink and eat while making milk
Getting safe sleep (and finding sleep) when you live with a nursing baby
Improving milk production and breastfeeding with your baby through skin-on-skin time and playtime
And participants will receive a link to a generous selection of “homework” materials/resources and access to your instructor after class if you have questions (immediately after class for more Q&A if you want to linger on the call or later via email).
Participants receive two bonuses after class: a refrigerator magnet with milk storage guidelines and a video by DUY yoga instructor with some yoga-for-breastfeeding tips!
