Breastfeeding 101 Classes

Taught by a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist™

 
Winnipeg In-home Breastfeeding Support

Breastfeeding is one topic that new parents often forget to prepare for before baby is born. Knowing what to expect and learning tips and tricks ahead of time can help ensure an easier breastfeeding journey.

Although, breastfeeding is natural it is not always easy. Breastfeeding is a combination of learned and instinctual behaviours for both parents and baby in the weeks and months following birth.

Bean Family Wellness will help to prepare you, empower you, and help build your confidence with factual and realistic information to help you have a more positive breastfeeding journey.
