This class provides parents with information about breastfeeding and offers support for new breastfeeding families. One of our lactation consultants will discuss how breastfeeding is started in the hospital, what to expect the first weeks, how to handle work situations and how to pump and store milk. After taking this class, you will have the basic knowledge of correct and comfortable positioning and how to assess adequate feedings. Parents are encouraged to bring a support person if they choose.

Where: Meeting Room 5, Jacksonville Memorial Hospital
