Prenatal Lactation Education
Prenatal Lactation education helps expectant parents prepare for breastfeeding before their baby arrives. Families learn what to expect in the early days, basic latch, and positioning, and how to support a successful breastfeeding start. It helps build confidence and provides guidance for a smooth begininning.
