Breastfeeding Basics

Breastfeeding is liquid gold for your baby and it does a mother good, too! After delivery you have everything your baby needs through breastfeeding. The experience of breastfeeding is special for many reasons – the joyful bonding with your baby, the cost savings, and the health benefits for both mother and baby.

Bring your partner to learn about “the benefits” and art of breastfeeding, including where to begin and how to give yourself the best chance for success.

Participants are asked to bring two pillows and a doll or stuffed animal for demonstration.
