CLASSES
As a career educator and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Amy Johnston is uniquely qualified to deliver an evidence-based breastfeeding class curriculum that is entertaining but also sensitive to the needs of diverse families. This 3 hour class covers EVERYTHING families need to know to get breastfeeding off to the best start, and then some. We will cover:
why breastfeeding is about much more than just feeding choice
how your body is preparing RIGHT NOW to feed your infant
how birth practices affect breastfeeding
what to expect in the first hours after birth
how to read your newborn's behavior
newborn and family sleep
latch and positioning techniques and in-class practice
troubleshooting tips/techniques
bonding with your baby and postpartum recovery
expressing milk/returning to work/hands-on pump demonstration
unexpected feelings about breastfeeding
Seats must be reserved in advance. The class tuition covers a seat for the breastfeeding parent and a partner, caregiver or doula, 3 instructional hours with Amy Johnston, IBCLC, a folder with class handouts AND exclusive access to my password-protected resources containing links to the evidence-based best practice information, instructional videos and research articles presented in class.
Space is limited and the class is expected to fill quickly!
Please bring a stuffed animal to class for practice!
