You and your baby were made to do this— but nursing doesn’t always happen perfectly. You can set your baby up for the best possible start by being prepared. After attending this class you will know exactly what you need for a successful journey breastfeeding your baby.

Responsive Bottle Feeding

Families introduce bottle feeding for a variety of reasons. We all assume we know how to bottle feed. How hard can it be? The babies I’ve spoken to have some requests: ask us if we’re ready to feed, tell us what you’re going to do, and slow it down.  In this class we will talk about the best time to start bottles, features to look for in bottles that are more supportive of your breastfeeding, and parent skills to ensure baby is feeding calmly and effectively. This class is more helpful if you have already taken the Nourishing Newborns class, or your baby has already been born.
