Breastfeeding Support: A Comprehensive Class for New Parents
Preparing for feeding your baby is an essential and exciting part of your prenatal journey. Join other expectant parents in this informative workshop to gain the knowledge and confidence you need for a smooth transition into feeding your newborn.
In this class, you’ll learn the four key things to know about feeding your baby in the early days, including newborn feeding behaviors, hunger cues, how often they need to eat, and how to ensure they’re getting enough nourishment. We’ll also explore how the birth process impacts feeding in the first weeks.
Discover the fundamentals of lactation, how milk supply works, and five essential latching techniques to support successful breastfeeding from the start. Additionally, we’ll cover when and how to supplement with formula if needed, proper formula preparation, feeding amounts, and strategies for maintaining milk supply while supplementing.
The workshop concludes with a Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to get personalized guidance so you can leave feeling confident and prepared to nourish your baby from day one.
Why Breastfeeding Education Matters for Mothers
Newborn baby care and how to feed your baby aren’t always instinctive — they grow with support, education, and practice. That’s why breastfeeding education classes are so valuable, especially before your baby arrives. These classes prepare you for that first feeding and for what those first few days and nights will really look like.
You’ll learn how your body responds after birth, what signs to watch for during feedings, and how to feel more confident navigating challenges like sore nipples, latching struggles, or cluster feeding. Breastfeeding is deeply connected to your baby's overall health, and getting guidance early can make all the difference. With the right information and community, you’ll feel less overwhelmed and more equipped to care for your newborn baby with confidence and calm.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need to attend this class before I give birth?
We recommend attending before your baby arrives so you feel more prepared heading into those early days. That way, you can focus on you and your baby, and not scramble with information overload. Understanding feeding basics ahead of time makes things a lot less stressful once you're home and in the rhythm of newborn life.
What will I learn in the breastfeeding class?
You'll learn how milk supply works, how to get a good latch, signs your baby is feeding well, and ways to handle common challenges. We also talk about baby formula, feeding schedules, and how your birth experience can impact early feeding.
Is this class suitable for both new and experienced mothers?
Yes, absolutely. First-time parents learn essential basics, while experienced moms often can pick up new tips or just get a refresher. Every baby is different, so even seasoned moms find value in hearing new strategies and connecting with others in similar seasons.
How long is the class?
The breastfeeding class lasts three hours. That includes time for instruction, discussion, and a Q&A session so you can ask anything on your mind. We keep the pace relaxed and the vibe supportive, so you walk away feeling clear and confident.
How do I register for the class?
Registration is simple. Just visit the class page on our website and follow the easy sign-up instructions. If you have questions or need help choosing the right time, our team is always happy to assist you by phone or in-store.
What should I bring to the class?
You don’t need much. Just bring yourself, something to take notes with, and any questions you’d like answered. If you are still pregnant, comfy clothes and a water bottle are a good idea. Partners are always welcome to attend, too.
Do you offer private consultations if I need extra help?
Yes, A Mother’s Haven offers private lactation consultations for parents who need more one-on-one support. You'll receive focused guidance from a lactation consultant who can help with positioning, milk supply, and proper breastfeeding technique to ensure effective milk removal and comfort for both you and baby.
