Prepared Parenting: Building Blocks of Breastfeeding
2025-05-13 15:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual
Feeding your baby is natural—but that doesn’t mean it comes naturally.
In this workshop, we’ll focus on what expectant parents really need to know about breastfeeding—from positioning and latch, to feeding cues, to what’s normal (and what’s not) in those first few weeks. We’ll also touch on bottle-feeding and pumping options, so you feel confident no matter what your feeding journey looks like.
We’ll talk honestly about common challenges, how to get support, and what to do when things don’t go as planned—because feeding your baby isn’t just about the how, it’s about feeling supported and prepared.
Designed for expectant parents—partners always welcome.
