Breastmilk feeding is about so much more than what happens at the breast. Whether you plan to nurse, exclusively pump, combo feed, return to work, introduce bottles, or simply want to feel prepared for whatever comes next, Beyond the Boob will give you the practical knowledge and confidence to navigate real life breastmilk feeding.
Designed as the follow up to From Bump to Boob: Prenatal Breastfeeding Class, we’ll take you beyond the basics and help make sense of all the pumps, bottles, gadgets, and advice that can quickly become overwhelming.
We’ll talk about:
• Primary pumps, wearables, manual pumps, and pumping accessories
• Flange sizing, fit, and inserts
• Normal milk supply and avoiding common supply pitfalls
• Breastmilk storage, freezing, and transporting milk
• Preparing for returning to work or time away from baby
• Intentional bottle introduction, bottle choices, and paced feeding
• Pacifiers and milk collectors
• Nipple shields, supplemental nursing systems, and other feeding tools
• What you actually need, what can wait, and what may save you money by skipping altogether
This isn’t a class about everything that could go wrong or how to troubleshoot an individual feeding challenge. If there’s a problem, there’s a solution, and now you have us on speed dial. Any feeding struggle deserves individualized care. Our goal is to help you understand your options, spend your money wisely, and feel prepared for feeding your baby beyond the breast. Designed for expecting parents. A support person is encouraged to attend.
