CLASSES
Classes are offered for one to two moms at a time so that we can personalize our information for your concerns.
We can work with you to find a time that fits your schedule.
You may also request a private class.
Partners, spouses or other support persons are welcome at no extra charge.
All classes, whether private or group, are usually covered by your health insurance, thanks to the Affordable Care Act.
*A regular clinical appointment will be more appropriate than a class if you have cracked, bleeding or infected nipples; severely engorged breasts; twins; a premature, sleepy, underweight, or jaundiced baby; or any underlying maternal or infant medical problem.
