Understanding Breastfeeding Class

Understanding Breastfeeding is an introductory class intended for expectant families looking for more information regarding breastfeeding. Topics covered will include a brief overview of breastfeeding, its benefits, and how to be successful with breastfeeding. This class will allow expectant families the opportunity to interact with our IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) prior to delivery. Participants may be at any point in their pregnancy.

When our instructors offer live classes, they utilize a platform called Ready, Set, Baby, as their instructional format. If you'd prefer virtual education, they are offering a free online resource for parents with materials to fit their needs. Click here to access the information.

Class size is limited to nine (9) people. Classes run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in Onslow Memorial Hospital Education Department.
