Prenatal Breastfeeding Classes
You've heard from friends and family that breastfeeding and pumping were hard or even that it was painful. Maybe some people have even outright told you that you won't be successful with breastfeeding because they weren't and they tried everything!
You want to feed your baby breastmilk. You might want to return to work postpartum, or at least want a break and would like your baby to take a bottle. You need information that is up-to-date, practical assistance if any problems arise postpartum, and on-going support.
You can do this! You can meet your infant feeding goals!
