Breastfeeding Basics Class
Learn the information you need and deserve to know about breastfeeding from the comfort of your own home (or in person). Taught by Jordan Clarke - the Founder of Birmingham Breastfeeding, Registered Nurse, and Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant.
Want to begin breastfeeding empowered? Have a friend to turn to for support?
If you’re feeling like “I hope I can breastfeed” but unsure how or what to do once your baby is born, our class is for you!
Imagine if you could:
Understand how breastfeeding works
Feel prepared to latch your baby
Know what to expect in those first days and weeks
Have a team of lactation consultants ready to encourage you
Doesn’t that sound like something you deserve? Well, it is 1000% possible for you to enter breastfeeding that confidently!
After struggling with nursing my first son, I made it my mission to make sure no mom feels alone while trying to feed their baby. I was able to overcome our struggles and subsequently serve hundreds of moms through similar situations. Now, I want to teach you how to get started the way that I wish I had!
