Most parents think, “They’ll teach me to breastfeed at the hospital.”

But here’s the truth: by the time you’re in the hospital, it’s often too late to learn what you really need to feel confident feeding your baby. Those first few hours after birth are a blur. Your body is recovering, nurses are busy, and suddenly you’re trying to figure out:

• Is my baby getting enough milk?

• What position should I use?

• When should I pump?

• How do I know when my baby needs a bottle?

Most parents ask these exact questions in the hospital—when they’re tired, sore, emotional, and trying to take in a dozen new things at once. And if breastfeeding gets off to a rough start, it can make everything feel harder and even affect your milk supply.

That’s why this class exists.

As a postpartum nurse and lactation consultant, I’ve seen how much smoother things go when families feel prepared before birth. You deserve to start your feeding journey calm, confident, and supported, not scrambling to figure it out between diaper changes and nurse visits.

This class is completely free with Health First Colorado (Medicaid).
Let’s set you up for success from day one.

Feeding Your Baby Is a Round-the-Clock Job

You’ll be feeding your baby 8–12 times a day. It’s the most frequent and ongoing part of newborn life, and sometimes, it doesn’t come naturally.

Educating yourself now helps you skip the stress, overwhelm, and second-guessing that come from trying to figure it out while you’re sleep-deprived and sore.

Get the Education and Skills You Need

This class is built from years of experience supporting families in the early days and weeks of nursing.

You’ll learn how to:

• Know your baby is getting enough milk

• Find a comfortable position for your body

• Maximize your milk supply

• Know when and how to pump or offer a bottle

• Get help early if things aren’t going smoothly

You’ll walk away feeling informed, supported, and ready to feed your baby from day one, no matter what feeding looks like for your family.
