Wanna be successful at breastfeeding? Preparation is key.

While breastfeeding is natural — and you can totally do it, mama — it’s hardly ever easy, and many moms give up simply because they weren’t adequately prepared.

During this workshop, you will:

- build a better understanding of breastfeeding
- learn strategies and techniques to avoid common breastfeeding struggles, such as low milk supply, sore & damaged nipples, and a poor latch
- gain the confidence you’ll need to begin your breastfeeding journey
- understand how partners and other support persons can aid in your success
