Breastfeeding Basics

Our class provides important information about breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact, laid back nursing, how to latch baby and recognizing if the baby is not getting enough breast milk. Fathers are strongly encouraged to attend.

The class is especially helpful for:

• first-time parents
• those who previously had a negative breastfeeding experience
• mothers with flat, inverted, short or large nipples
• mothers with very large or small breasts
• those expecting multiples
• mothers at high risk (pre-eclampsia, known fetal anomaly, etc.)
• mothers who have had breast surgery (reduction, augmentation, trauma, etc.)
• parents who want to better understand the benefits of breastfeeding and its challenges

Our class takes place in the Lutheran Children’s Hospital conference room, located on the third floor of the main hospital, just off the visitor elevators and near the welcome desk.
