It's never too early to begin educating yourself on life with a newborn, and especially the art of breastfeeding your new baby.
According to a New York based hospital report, of the families who had attended a prenatal breastfeeding class, 83 percent were successfully breastfeeding upon discharge. Breastfeeding education doesn't just give you the basics of positioning and how to pump, but the realities of newborn care, and how to support mom, and the tools to design a personalized feeding plan that fits your lifestyle, goals, and family dynamics.
