Newborn babies need to eat every two hours. You will feed your baby within the first few hours of their life and then keep feeding them--A LOT. When and how to do this is often harder than it looks. This class will help you feel prepared to feed your baby from the start.

  • How and why your body makes milk.
  • When your baby is hungry.
  • What to do if it hurts.
  • How to know you are making enough.
