Breastfeeding Class

Hi! Last night I went to a breastfeeding class at Baylor Grapevine. There was a lactaction consultant/RN doing the class and it was great! I especially liked her stories about breastfeeding her kids. I had done some reading on breastfeeding but I was so confused about all the information out there. This class helped me understand that it's not as scary or difficult as some people make it out to be. I am for breastfeeding because of all the benefits to the baby and myself. But those pumps look kind of scary! It helped to see videos of how a baby latches on to the breast because all the drawings and diagrams in the world don't really let you see how the process really works. We all got a book plus some handouts to read at home. The hospital is "breastfeeding friendly" meaning they are supportive of moms who wish to breastfeed. The hospital also has a store with breastfeeding items including pumps, bras, and other helpful equipment. Jon is supportive of me breastfeeding our baby. That makes me feel really good.
