Testamonial from the Breastfeeding Class

I think what was so nice about the breastfeeding class is this: When I was in the hospital after Helen was born, there were so many hospital staff giving us information (screening, post-partum care, breast feeding, Paediatrician’s notes, etc). Having heard the breast feeding tips once before in your class meant I didn’t have to absorb it for the first time with all that other information (all while I’m meeting my baby). The repetition of information was a big part of what made us successful.
