How to breastfeed your baby

Hello! We are Sherri and Anne, International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC's), dedicated to supporting mothers through the journey of breastfeeding. With over a decade of experience, we blend professional expertise with firsthand understanding – Sherri has 5 children and Anne has 4, both of whom were breastfed! We know the challenges and triumphs of breastfeeding because we've lived them ourselves.

Breastfeeding is a beautiful and natural way to nourish and bond with your baby. Understanding the process is key to a successful breastfeeding experience for both you and your little one. If you're a first-time mom, the amount of information can be overwhelming. That's why we created this online course – offering information in digestible, easy-to-understand videos you can revisit as often as needed. You'll gain the knowledge to determine what works best for you and your unique baby. Remember, you are the best mama for your baby!

Did you know breast milk is the perfect food for your baby? It's readily available, at the ideal temperature, and constantly adapts to your baby's evolving needs. Breast milk is a living fluid, providing vital antibodies that help keep your baby healthy. If your baby has a cold, your body will produce specific antibodies within 24 hours to fight it off!

In this comprehensive online breastfeeding course, you will learn:

• How Your Body Makes Breast Milk: Understand the science behind milk production.
• Proper Latch Techniques: Master the correct way to position your baby for comfortable and effective breastfeeding.
• Feeding Frequency: Learn how to determine appropriate feeding intervals for your baby.
• Recognizing Adequate Milk Intake: Identify signs that your baby is getting enough nourishment.
• Various Nursing Positions: Discover different positions to find what's most comfortable for you and your baby.
• Managing Breastfeeding Discomforts: Learn strategies to alleviate common pain and challenges.
• Partner Support: Explore how your partner can actively participate in supporting your breastfeeding journey.

While ideally taken before your baby arrives, this course is valuable for new moms already navigating the early days. It's also a helpful refresher as your baby grows and develops. Encourage your support person to watch along – having shared knowledge can be invaluable during those sleepless nights.

We genuinely care about you and your baby's well-being. Please don't hesitate to email us with any questions. We're here to provide ongoing support as you and your little one navigate this wonderful experience together.
