Take a FREE Breastfeeding class online
Nursing Mothers Counsel currently provides free breastfeeding classes online via zoom. We suggest taking a class a month or two before your due date. We schedule online breastfeeding classes once or twice a month, so please check back if you don’t see any current classes listed.
You will have a live instructor and can ask questions at the end of the session. Be sure to allow email from nmc.sfbay@gmail.com through any spam filters, and if your plans change, be sure to click on cancel or reschedule in your reminder emails/texts so that another parent can join in your place! If you don’t get a class confirmation within 2-4 hours, please email us at classes@nursingmothers.org.
Don’t forget to check out our Resources Page (link at top) as there are links to Stanford online videos and lots of great information!
Our free zoom class covers:
what to expect in the early days
how to establish a good milk supply
when to feed your baby and signs that your baby is getting enough
proper positioning
how to get an optimal latch
milk expression and pump basics
and much more!
Expectant parents and their partners, support people, and birth attendants (like doulas) are all welcome and encouraged to attend. Nursing a baby is most successful when the home environment is supportive and informed. Please note, this class does not qualify for continuing education units for birth workers.
