Partners are encouraged to attend this class!

There is a belief that feeding from your body is natural and therefore easy, but ask around and you know that’s often not the case. In Canada, our success rates are dismal and families face many obstacles when it comes to infant feeding. Breast/chestfeeding is a learned skill that both you and your baby work at together to figure out.

The lack of education around body feeding as well as a lack of proper support can stack the odds against families who are seeking to feed their baby this way. With over 20 years of experience between them supporting hundreds of families during the 4th trimester, SJ & Carol Anne have created this 3.5 hour class to help prepare you for your infant feeding journey.

It can take a few weeks to really get things going and what if you have experienced a difficult birth, or your baby is struggling to figure out feeding? There are many common challenges but also thankfully many solutions.

It’s all about education, support and helping you reach your infant feeding goals.
