We will talk about the basics and how to get things started off right. We will discuss common questions and concerns and give you information to make the best decisions for your family. You will be equip with information on what to expect and the warning signs if you may need additional breastfeeding support. At the completion of your class you will feel prepared to begin your journey, and you will have the information you need to find additional support if you need it. 

This is a 3 hour class.
