To help you get ready for that, I offer classes in breastfeeding and infant care.

  • Grooming, diapering and bathing

  • When to call the pediatrician

  • Sleep issues

  • Coping with fussiness and colic

  • Finding breaks

  • Getting out

  • Setting up a nursery

Breastfeeding:

  • Establishing a proper latch

  • Ensuring that the baby is feeding well

  • Troubleshooting/Common Concerns about breastfeeding

  • What to do if you need more help

  • Emotional issues around breastfeeding

FAQ:

Should my partner come?   Yes. If there are two parents, the class is for both of you. If you are single and will have regular support from a friend or family member, I suggest you ask them to attend with you.

Do we take this before or after the birth?   Either, but almost everyone takes them prenatally because afterwards you're kind of busy. 

WHEN AND WHERE:

  • Private Classes: Any time you like, in your home or office. Contact me or check out my schedule and sign up.

  • Group Class: First Sunday of the month, "Infant Care & Breastfeeding" class at City Births, 370 W 58 ST, 10-1 or 2-5, scheduled the day after my childbirth series so you can take them sequentially.

(Note:  You can register for this without taking childbirth, but I strongly suggest you take both.)
