Private Classes/Prenatal Consults

I am available to teach private prenatal breastfeeding classes or give you a prenatal breastfeeding consult specifically tailored to your needs.

Why might you want a private class or a prenatal consult?

• You have a busy schedule and need a class that is perfectly convenient for you.  I am happy to come to you anytime including evenings and weekends.
• You don’t want a hospital based class, but instead would prefer a class with a more natural and holistic focus.
• You are worried about a specific problem and have lots of questions.  For example, a history (reduction, augmentation), trouble with breastfeeding a previous baby, returning turning to work/school soon after your baby’s birth, twins (or more!), or inducing lactation for non-gestational parent or an adopted baby.
• You have specific medical or personal issues that you have questions about but don’t wish to discuss in a group setting.

Large Group Classes

I have taught large group prenatal classes (Childbirth, Breastfeeding, Infant Preparation and Care, and Nutrition for Pregnant/Lactating Parents) in both hospital and public health settings.  If you are a hospital, birth center, or employer who would like to host prenatal breastfeeding classes please contact me for a proposal and a price quote.

Classes for Professionals

I have over twenty years of teaching experience for groups of one to two hundred individuals.  I can come to your organization and teach on a multitude of infant and lactation related topics.  Past topics that I have already developed classes for include:

• General breastfeeding management:  a 2 hour introductory course covering the basics of lactation.
• Milk expression:  a 2 hour course encompassing why early milk expression is important and methods of milk expression including hand expression and pumping.
• Methods of supplementation:  a 2 hour course geared towards front-line postpartum health professionals covering spoon feeding, cup feeding, syringe feeding, supplementation at breast, and bottle feeding.
• Breastfeeding and jaundice:  a 2 hour course tailored to health professionals about the physiology of jaundice, its relationship to breastfeeding, and evidence based management.
• Improving care for transgender patients:  not specific to lactation; a one hour lecture on how to provide respectful and sensitive care to transgender patients.

I have trained physicians, nurses, dietitians, and WIC peer counselors and I would love the opportunity to help your staff reach the next level in lactation expertise.  Please contact me for a proposal and a price quote.
