Due to Covid-19, we have initiated A VIRTUAL BREASTFEEDING CLASS! It will help you to feel more comfortable with breastfeeding and is all online so you don't even have to leave your house and is exactly the same information as if were at a live class. I will be there to facilitate the class and answer any questions you may have.
Consistently ranked one of the best classes you can take before you have your baby if breastfeeding is really important to you!
This is a comprehensive breastfeeding class targeted for expectant parents. This class will prepare you for the hours, days, and months following the birth of your baby.
Get familiar with what is normal and what to expect. Topics covered will be how to tell baby is getting enough, frequency and duration of feedings, position and latch, milk collection and storage, medications and breastfeeding, avoiding breastfeeding problems, maximizing milk production, support systems, breastpumps and pumping, commonly used breastfeeding products to make life easier, return to work, and frequently asked questions.
You will leave this class feeling confident about how breastfeeding works and great tips to make things easier. Lots of handouts and warm, informal class setting.
Bring your questions, Gail will answer all of them!
Husbands and partners encouraged to attend. Single session class.
Instructor: Gail Macklin RN BSN IBCLC.

Coming into the class, my husband and I knew very little about breastfeeding. We both come from families who didn't breastfeed, and w felt alone and needed information on where to start. Gail was so wonderful and really helped both my husband and I feel like we could do it! Leslie was amazing as well and really helped to empower me and help put my mind at ease. I am so thankful a friend referred me to NMNB. It is a great feeling knowing that I have such amazing advocates and help right around the corner.

I am so glad that I signed up for this class. Gail was so informative, patient and realistic. I felt so comfortable asking my many questions. I walked away from the afternoon not feeling overwhelmed, but more at ease than anything. And, should I have any issues with breastfeeding, I know who my first call will be to...Gail!

Very informative class. I've read several books on breastfeeding and this class seems to have everything at once. Great video material. And you can ask tones of questions and get professional opinion rite from lactation consultant. As first time mom I was very worried how my breastfeeding is going to go. With help of professionals I've got everything covered including rented breast pump and other accessories.
