Breastfeeding: First Year of Life

This class is offered monthly for moms at 24–32 weeks gestation and their support person. It’s taught by lactation counselors who will help expectant parents learn the basics of breastfeeding. Topics include establishing a successful breastfeeding relationship; frequency and feeding cues; holds, positions, and latch-on techniques; choosing a breast pump; pumping and storing breast milk; and maintaining milk supply. Participants should bring the “Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy” book they received from their clinic. Register here.
