Birthsmarter Lactation (Not So) Basics

  • The Wild 272 Driggs Avenue Brooklyn, NY, 11222 United States (map)

This is the class we wished we had before attempting to feed our babies!


We'll cover:

  • The secrets to getting a great latch (nursing does not have to be painful!)

  • Milk production and why the timing of feeds really matters (cluster feeds, growth spurts, etc)

  • How to know your baby is getting enough milk

  • Breast care and troubleshooting clogged ducts, mastitis, and thrush 

  • Tongue ties + other possible complications 

  • Pumping, hand expression, storage, and alternative feeding options 

  • Changing patterns within the first 24 hours, first two weeks, and first few months  

  • Ways partners can support the nursing parent

  • Oh, and a lot about the general awesomeness of breastmilk!

Our goal is to lay a strong foundation and give you the resources you’ll need for navigating the seemingly uncharted territory that lies ahead! Partners are strongly encouraged to attend.

While great as a standalone class, we love to bundle with Postpartum Planning and Newborn Care for a comprehensive education! Book all three classes in one transaction for 10% off with the code BUNDLE. All classes include you + your support team.
