Second Monday: Breastfeeding 101
Breastfeeding 101 provides a strong foundation for parents who want to begin their breastfeeding journey. There are some common challenges that many families face, especially in the first hour after delivery and the first few days of life. We’ll teach you how to know whether your baby is getting enough milk, latch techniques, and how to build a support team for help when you need it. We will also go over breast pumps and how to build that back-to-work stash if you need one! Finally, we’ll debunk some common myths and answer any questions you have so that you are fully prepared when your baby arrives.
