In-Home Classes
Pre-Natal, In-Home Standard Breastfeeding Class
Designed for the mom who does not anticipate any special problems, and is expecting one baby.
Pre-Natal, In-Home "Breastfeeding with Special Circumstances" Class
Designed for moms with unique breast shapes, large breasts, very small breasts, breast augmentation, breast reduction or
mastectomy, and flat or inverted nipples.
Pre-Natal, In-Home, Same Sex Couples Class (wishing to
share-nurse)
Yes, both moms CAN nurse the new baby if they wish (see adoptive breastfeeding class
for more information). Also, even with only one mom nursing, Lesbian families can face unique challenges in breastfeeding
success, and support is paramount! It is so important to make breastfeeding work out, call me adn I'll help you get there!
Before Baby Comes Home Adoptive Breastfeeding/Breastfeeding
After Surrogacy
Yes, adoptive moms, and moms that bring their children home through surrogacy can and
should nurse the new baby! There is nothing like the mother baby bond created through breastfeeding. You can bring in milk,
and CAN breastfeed your new baby, even if you have never been pregnant before, and your baby isn't a newborn! If it proves
not possible to bring in a full or partial milk supply, you can STILL nurse the baby through the use of a Lactation Aid AKA
Breastfeeding Supplementer. Babies LOVE to nurse from their mothers, they love everything about it. Don't let a lack of your
own milk take that away from you. Breastfeeding is about so much more than just breast milk. Call me, and I'll help get you
where you want to be!
Pre-Natal, In-Home, Breastfeeding
Multiples. Twins, Triplets, Tandem and More!
Yes, you CAN breastfeed, YES, it's 100% worth it, and YES, I can help! Call today for
your in-home class if you are expecting multiples, or you are pregnant, and planning to tandem nurse the new baby with your
older child. I'll give you the information, the support, the tools you need to succeed!
Post Natal In-Home Breast Pumping
Class
There is indeed an art to getting the most from breast pumping. In this class (Pump
Required) you will learn how to make certain your pumping parts fit your body properly, how to pump to best remove milk, pumping
for the hospitalized and/or non-nursing baby, exclusive pumping (when breastfeeding from the breast is not possible) and more!
This class is POST-NATAL only, as pumping during pregnancy is ill advised.
Post Natal In-Home/In-Hospital Breastfeeding Support
Services
Private, personal breastfeeding support for you and your new baby. Be it in your first hours or days home, a few weeks
down the line, or even a few months along the way, whenever the need is there for in-home professional breastfeeding support,
I'm here for you. If the breastfeeding support and/or information you are receiving in the hospital is not quite what you
expected, or what you need it to be, or maybe the nurses are lacking the time and attention that you and your baby require
(and deserve!) please call, and I'll be there to give you the one-on-one support you need and deserve.

All of my classes and breastfeeding support services are offered in the privacy of your own home or hospital room. It
has long been my belief that families are more open to new information when they are in their most comfortable environment,
their homes. Also, by taking your class, or receiving breastfeeding support in your own home, you will learn positioning techniques
using your own sofa, your own easy chair, your own bed, your own pillows and other support items. This can only be of benefit
to you once baby is home. We do offer in-hospital services for families that are simply not getting the help they need.
Does my visit with you mean that I don't need to discuss all this with my Doctor?
Absolutely NOT! Your Pediatrician and Family Doctors should always be made aware that you are taking
a breastfeeding class, and to expect breastfeeding related questions from you, on a regular basis. Your Pediatrician should
ALWAYS be told if you have a home visit, and what was discussed, and what your plans are. Any sort of breast illness or breastfeeding
challenge should always be fully discussed with your family doctor. Any recommendation made to you by your family doctor should
supersede any advice you receive from me, as they know you most initmately, and are your Primary Care Physician. I should
be considered "Breastfeeeding Support", not your Primary Care Provider. I am here to support you, teach you, give you good,
up to date and accurate information, instruction, and perhaps give you talking points to discuss with your doctor. I am in
no way a replacement for your Primary Healthcare Provider's care.
