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.
