Topics include: the benefits of breastfeeding, how to get off to a great start, hospital policies and procedures and how they impact breastfeeding, latching and positioning the baby at the breast and how to be sure your baby is getting enough milk. Potential breastfeeding difficulties will be covered and information on how to overcome these issues. We also discuss the differences in breast pumps, how to know what type of pump you need based on your circumstance, making the most of pumping, and pumping and nursing while working outside the home.

The Motherhood Center is here to help you get started on your breastfeeding journey. In addition to breastfeeding classes, we also have Medela Hospital Grade Breast Pumps for rent, lactation consultants who are available to meet with you in the hospital, at TMC or at your home, and carry many breastfeeding essentials in our retail store. Want to know if your baby is gaining sufficient weight? We also have a baby weigh scale, which allows you to see how much your baby is eating in a feeding.
