FREE Understanding Breastfeeding Class 11/12/26

You signed up for the childbirth class.

You practiced breathing techniques.

You packed the hospital bag.

You learned all about labor...

But what about the feeding part that starts right after baby arrives?

So many parents spend months preparing for birth and only a little time preparing for breastfeeding. Then baby arrives and suddenly they're wondering:

❓ Is my baby getting enough milk?
❓ Is this latch normal?
❓ Why does my baby want to feed all the time?
❓ Is cluster feeding normal?
❓ When should I pump?
❓ How do I know if breastfeeding is actually working?

The truth is that breastfeeding is a learned skill for both you and your baby. The first few days can feel overwhelming enough without trying to figure it all out while recovering from birth and surviving on little sleep.

💛 Be prepared.
💛 Have a plan.
💛 Know what is normal before baby arrives.
💛 Don't get blindsided during those first days postpartum.

Join me for a FREE Understanding Breastfeeding Class where we'll discuss:

✅ What to expect in the first hours and days after delivery
✅ The Golden Hour and why it matters
✅ How milk supply works
✅ Normal newborn feeding behaviors
✅ Cluster feeding
✅ How to know if your baby is getting enough milk
✅ Common breastfeeding challenges and how to prepare for them
✅ When and where to get help

Hey, moms! Mark your calendars! Milk Time Meetup is happening TOMORROW, and we would love to see you there!

11a-12p on 10-13-26.

Being a new mom is such a beautiful season, but it can also feel overwhelming and lonely at times. Whether you have breastfeeding questions, need a little reassurance, or just want to get out of the house and connect with other moms who understand this stage of life, this group is for YOU!

Milk Time Meetup is about more than breastfeeding support. It’s a place to ask questions, share experiences, make new friends, and remind yourself that you’re not alone in this journey.
