BREASTFEEDING CLASS

Breastfeeding, while natural, requires some knowledge and encouragement, especially for new moms. We strongly encourage you and your support person to take one of our Breastfeeding: Getting Started with Confidence classes. You have the option to take an in-person OR virtual class. While our wonderful nurses and lactation consultants are always available to answer questions and assist you during your stay with us, it's recommended that you prepare to breastfeed before you arrive on the Mom & Baby Floor. This 2.5 hour class is $35 and need-based scholarships are available by emailing [email protected] or calling 414.585.1025.
