Do I really need a class to teach me how to breastfeed? Won’t I just figure it out?Yes, it is possible to successfully breastfeed without taking a class, but the truth is the majority of new moms struggle with one or more breastfeeding issues and knowing what to expect and how to prevent or address issues can make a huge difference in your postpartum experience.

Will I still need to work with a lactation consultant if I take breastfeeding bootcamp?You might! Oh my goodness, we love lactation consultants. Our courses are not meant to replace their just-in-time, hands-on expertise that can be invaluable for troubleshooting a specific issue or confirming an effective latch and milk transfer. By taking Breastfeeding Bootcamp you will have a better idea of when to contact a lactation consultant for targeted support, and you will be able to prevent and troubleshoot many common issues on your own.

Can I learn as much from an online breastfeeding class as taking one in-person?It certainly depends on the class and the instructor but many new moms find an online course where they can go at their own pace, revisit videos, and refer back once baby arrives much more valuable than a one-and-done in-person class.

What topics will be covered in the Breastfeeding Bootcamp?Breastfeeding Bootcamp will cover a broader range of topics including: latching, holistic choices, nutrition, mental health, relationship health plus more! These topics are what differentiates the course from other traditional breastfeeding classes offered by a hospital.
