Breastfeeding Classes
NEW Breastfeeding Prep Package: Online Course and Private Session for Expectant Parents
Registration includes Self-paced Class AND private Q&A session
We've been hard at work building this self-paced online course for prenatal parents. The content includes a recorded live Zoom class session, broken into digestible short videos, along with extra resources and materials on each topic. In addition, you'll schedule a private session (in-person or virtual) with us for any questions you have.
Cost: $170 $125 for the ~3-4 hour online course AND 45-minute private Q&A follow-up with us
The class focuses on the first critical weeks of your baby’s life and provides essential information and resources to prepare for a satisfying feeding experience. Learn all the best ways to get off to a great start with breast/chest-feeding, including:
- building your milk supply,
- comfortable latching and nursing,
- how to know if your baby is getting enough,
- some common problems you may run into and what to do about them,
- and more! See full outline here.
Give yourself the knowledge to have the best start possible on your feeding journey.
Important Note: If you or your baby will have more complex needs or unique factors, or if you've been through a feeding journey with an older baby, and you want more than the basics, consider setting up a full private prenatal consultation instead.

Returning to Work Class
Breastfeeding Classes for parents who are returning to work and heading into the pumping-at-work / bottles-for-baby stage! While the day-to-day looks different for every family, there are some great basics, information and tips, and things to keep in mind that apply to everyone. Plus we’ll have lots of time for Q & A. Sign up to reduce your stress, maintain your milk supply, and keep your breastfeeding journey going strong!
Important Note: We think this session will work best for you after you have had your baby and are at least a few weeks into your breastfeeding journey. We do not recommend taking this class prenatally.
(Group sessions are on pause for now)
Schedule a private working and breastfeeding consultation at your convenience. Fill out your insurance info here to see if we can bill your insurance plan. (Most plans are accepted!) If not, the fee is $110 per couple. Thank you!
Work and breastfeeding can happen! However, 80% of breastfeeding parents stop breastfeeding within 1 month of returning to work! Don’t become part of this statistic! Knowledge and support are the answer.
As a breastfeeding parent preparing to return to work, you might feel a bit overwhelmed. Let us help you out! Research has shown that mothers who feel knowledgable, comfortable and confident about their return to work plans have the highest success rates.
This session will cover:
- When to introduce a bottle, how to bottle feed (paced bottle feeding!!!), keep babies in practice, and how to know how much your baby will need to eat
- Pumping – How often, for how long, what to bring. How to optimize pumping (or hand expression!), and make each pump session as efficient and effective as possible
- Child care – Common pitfalls to avoid, and how they can help you preserve your breastfeeding relationship
- And more!
