Breastfeeding: Secrets of success
Palo Alto Clinic
Class Overview:
“Breastfeeding is a learned, not instinctive process ‑ so
a class is a great place to find out how to make a good start. Breastfeeding
is more likely to be easy and fun ‑ and live up to mother’s expectations ‑ if
mother and baby are working well together in the first week of life. It helps
so much when both mom and her partner understand the mechanics of breastfeeding
and can take the necessary steps for baby to start out on the right path.”
- Joanna Koch, IBCLC
Lactation Consultant, PAMF
The breastfeeding class is taught by Joanna Koch, Lactation Consultant for PAMF. Designed to provide expectant parents with the knowledge and tools they need to get breastfeeding off to the right start, topics will cover:
- Prenatal preparation for breastfeeding
- How to survive the first week
- How to know if baby is taking enough milk
- How to avoid problems – such as sore nipples & engorgement
- How to ensure a great supply
- When to be concerned
- Reading your baby’s feeding signals - a guide to baby talk
