What can you expect from a class?

My classes run for two hours. We will start with introductions so we know who we are learning with and from, and find out what the major interests and concerns are to guide the flow of information. These classes are introductory, so we will cover a wide range of topics (listed below), but the benefit of a live class is that we can dive down any rabbit holes that you want to explore - don’t be shy with questions, I want to make sure you’re learning what interests you! We will move through topics in a way that feels comfortable and engaging - two hours may sound like a long time, but it goes quickly since I keeping a conversational tone rather than me lecturing you for that whole time. Don’t get me wrong, I can talk for many hours about lactation, but my goal is to share as much information as you will reasonably retain in that time. Classes will close out with time for setting personal goals and going over additional resources. After the class, I will send you a follow up document to summarize what we talked about, including links for resources and copies of my guides (can be purchased on their own as well).

Topics include:

  • Anatomy of the breast and infant’s mouth

  • Elements of a good latch

  • Laying the groundwork for a full milk supply

  • Positions and helpful tips

  • Hand expression

  • What’s in the milk?

  • What to expect in the first week

  • A general look at lactation from pregnancy to weaning

  • Debunking common myths and destigmatizing controversies

  • Setting goals for yourself

  • Partner support

  • Finding resources
