Class Schedule

We are currently not schuleding group classes as our private prenatal classes and consults seem to be most popular. If you are interested in a group class please contact me as early in your pregnancy as possible and we will try and put one together. Visit our class page to find out how to schedule the class you want in our location or yours.

Breastfeeding Facts
The first six weeks after the baby is born is a time for new moms to rest, recover and learn about their new baby. When offers of help are given by friends and family, new moms should accept all good offers.

Every day a different fact. Check back often!

Breastfeeding Classes

Independent Breastfeeding Classes for Breastfeeding Success

We offer our independent breastfeeding classes in the Southern New Jersey Area*.  Our classes have the freedom to tell you what you want to know, not what usually happens in a specific hospital.

You may want to ask other's who delivered where you are having your baby: "were they truly supported in breastfeeding?" "Did their baby baby receive formula in the hospital?" We can help you know how to work with your health care team most effectively to achieve your goals..

We offer most of our classes on a request basis. If the class you want isn't currently scheduled, you can choose the classes you are interested in our our contact sheet and we will keep you informed of upcoming sessions. If your baby is not due for months, Sign Up for our newsletter now and be informed of class options when you need them. Your seventh to eighth month of pregnancy is a great time to take your classes.

  • Individual classes are $30 a couple for scheduled group classes and run 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
  • Classes in your home can be scheduled at our mutual convenience and are $45 plus travel for an individual or couple or $100 for 1 1/2 hours (up to 6 people).
  • We recommend first time parents take either our Empowered Breastfeeding package or our Breastfeeding Success package to be well prepared.
 

Classes topics include the following - for full descriptions of each class click here. We also offer Breastfeeding Packages, tailored to meet your needs.

Our breastfeeding classes give you a chance to be an empowered, educated advocate for your baby and their well being.  Our classes give you the confidence to make Breastfeeding Successful for you and your family.
