Time: 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. 


 Our 90-minute virtual segment will offer practical information on positioning your baby at the breast, assuring a comfortable latch, recognizing good swallowing and knowing that your baby is getting enough.


 We will also discuss how the breasts make milk and how to build a great milk supply, how often to breastfeed, and how to measure the length of an effective feeding session in active swallowing, not minutes.


 During this session, your questions will be answered about how and when to introduce a pumping routine, a bottle of breast milk, and how to prepare for returning to work.


 Important handouts and links to our favorite breastfeeding videos will be provided by email before each class.
