This two-part, condensed series is taught by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), focuses on the joys and common concerns of breastfeeding. Discussion includes positioning for breastfeeding and correct latch, identifying baby's feeding cues, maintaining a milk supply and other practical information. Additional topics include combining breastfeeding and working, expression and storage of breast milk, and use of breast pumps. To condense class time some topics are not covered within the virtual class that would have been in the in-person classes. Instructors will supplement learning with additional resources being made available to the class participants. Partners are encouraged to attend both sessions.
Fee is waived for those giving birth at UPMC Carlisle, UPMC Hanover, UPMC Pinnacle Harrisburg, UPMC Lititz, or UPMC Memorial.
