Prenatal and Postpartum Services
Prenatal Breastfeeding Education via Zoom October 13, 2024
The first 14 days after birth are important to establishing a successful breastfeeding relationship with your newborn.
Learn the basics of latching, positioning, milk making, and managing feeding and sleep.
Especially important is understanding breast feeding interventions you may encounter during your postpartum hospital stay.
The goals for feeding are yours; whether providing human milk for six days, six weeks or six months; we take one day at time.
Do you want to exclusively breastfeed or supplement with formula?
I support your choice and help navigate the process.
This is a great refresher for second baby, too!
Sunday, October 13, 2024 at 7 pm via Zoom.
$25 via Venmo @Paulette-Butler-2 Please include your email on the payment line. Register by October 11th. Thanks!
