Prenatal Breastfeeding Workshop

Prepare to breastfeed with a real game plan.

When your baby is only hours old, exhaustion and uncertainty can make every feeding decision feel urgent. This recorded workshop helps you and your partner understand what normal breastfeeding looks like, recognize when a feeding needs adjustment, use your pump, and know what to do before fear takes over.

Practice the skills, learn what to watch for, and create a practical plan for the first days after birth.

Practical skill-building

Evidence-informed education

For families who want breastfeeding to be the plan, not an afterthought.

If you want to learn exactly how to feed your baby, this workshop is for you.

You do not need to know everything already. You need a willingness to prepare, practice, and respond thoughtfully when feeding does not go as expected.

You want to prepare before birth

Learn what to expect during the first hours, first night, and first week.

You want practical skills

Practice positioning, assess real feeding videos, and learn how to use your pump.

You want to know whether feeding is working

Learn what to watch for during a feeding and how diapers, swallowing, behavior, and weight fit together.

Your partner wants a real role

Partners learn how to assist with positioning, observation, pumping, household support, and protecting the feeding plan.

A baby can look latched and still not be transferring milk effectively. This workshop teaches you what else to look for.

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

✓ Set up a supportive breastfeeding position
✓ Identify common signs of a shallow or ineffective latch
✓ Use the LATCH framework to organize what you observe
✓ Recognize signs that your baby may or may not be transferring milk effectively
✓ Assemble and begin using your breast pump
✓ Explain your backup feeding plan to your partner
✓ Know when to continue, adjust, express milk, pump, or seek help
✓ Recognize breastfeeding-supportive care in any birth setting

A practical plan for the first days of breastfeeding

Before and immediately after birth

✓ How milk production begins
✓ The role of skin-to-skin
✓ What to expect during the first feeding
✓ Why frequent feeding matters
✓ How common hospital events may affect feeding
✓ When hand expression or pumping may be useful
✓ What breastfeeding-supportive care looks like in any birth setting and how to advocate for your feeding plan

The workshop translates recognized WHO and UNICEF breastfeeding-support practices into practical steps families can use wherever they give birth.

During the first days

✓ Early feeding cues
✓ Positioning and deep-latch principles
✓ Signs of milk transfer
✓ How to assess the whole feeding picture
✓ How partners can help
✓ What to do when baby is sleepy or feeding is ineffective
✓ When to contact an IBCLC, pediatrician, or other provider

The goal is not to memorize every possible problem. The goal is to understand what normal looks like, recognize when something needs attention, and know your next step.

Learn to look beyond whether baby is simply attached.

You will review real feeding examples and learn to observe positioning, latch depth, jaw movement, swallowing, comfort, and the broader signs that feeding is working.

Learn More About Melissa

Families with previous low milk supply, breast surgery, hormonal concerns, anticipated parent-infant separation, or other individual risk factors may also benefit from a separate private prenatal consultation. This group educational workshop does not provide individualized diagnosis or treatment.

Breastfeeding may happen at the breast, but success is built by a team.

Partners often want to help but do not know what to look for or what to do. During the workshop, partners learn how to assist with positioning, notice feeding cues, support pumping, protect rest, reduce unnecessary pressure, and help the family follow the feeding plan.

Partner participation is encouraged but not required. The replay can also be reviewed together afterward.

Review the workshop whenever you need it.

Registered participants receive ongoing access to the recorded workshop. Use the replay to revisit positioning, LATCH practice, the pump demonstration, or any section you want to review with your partner.
