Preparing for Breastfeeding
In-person
Ascension Providence, Rochester Campus
Breastfeeding provides the best nutrition for infants as well as a unique relationship between mother and baby.
This class will answer your questions and help you get off to the best possible start on your nursing journey. Our goal is to help you gain confidence, troubleshoot if needed, and have a happy, well-fed baby! Topics include breastfeeding basics, proper hold, what to expect immediately after delivery and beyond. The class is taught by a registered nurse/International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).
We are excited to announce we will be gifting each registrant an "Understanding Breastfeeding" book and exclusive web app that works on any type of mobile device or computer. The book and app are a perfect companion to our program! The Injoy app includes engaging videos, 3D animations, helpful web links, downloadable PDFs, and a Parent's Toolbox loaded with interactive tools. It is yours to keep and share with your support team!
