Milk Mixer Session #1: Supplies and Stuff
|
What in the world is all this stuff and do I actually need it? You’ll hear about gadgets and gizmos from friends and family, from social media, and the general wild west of the internet. Different things work for different people. We’ll talk about why and when you might find certain items useful, which things are just not worth the money, and which can actually be harmful. Yes, we will chat about pumps during this session! We will also cover bottles in this session, but not bottle-feeding (see Session #3 for that.)
Cost: $15 per session Time: 7:30-8:30 pm (virtual) Location: Live online Upcoming Dates: Milk Mixer Session #1: Supplies and Stuff Wednesday, January 15, 2025 |

Milk Mixer Session #2: Latch & Positioning
|
What is this “good latch” everyone is talking about and how do I get it? Poor latch is the #1 cause of sore nipples and painful nursing, which is a leading cause of folks not meeting their own feeding goals (stopping early because- yikes, this hurts.) It’s also a common reason for babies not to gain weight well in the early days and weeks. We will talk in detail about how to know if you’re getting an effective latch and what to do if you’re not.

Milk Mixer Session #3: The Postpartum Scoop
|
In this session, we'll talk about what it will really be like to live life with this tiny new person in your home. Whether you’re having your baby at home or in the hospital, you can have a prepared and peaceful transition to life with your little one. We’ll talk about the very first nursing session, the golden hour, engorgement, common bumps in the road, and where to get the support you deserve. We will also talk about how and when to introduce bottles/pumping. We won't cover bottle brand/style specifics here (see Session #1 for that.)
