Breastfeeding: Getting a Strong Start $90
This comprehensive virtual course is taught by Board Certified Lactation Consultant Kelly Wysocki-Emery.

Get access to the Breastfeeding: Getting A Strong Start course to watch on your own first…THEN get access to a virtual Q&A session to ask any lingering questions.  This education is a hybrid model (some learning on your own via video course and then meeting with a lactation consultant to bring it all into focus).

What you get:

• 2 hours of up-to-date, solution-based breastfeeding video content culled from a lactation consultant working in the field for nearly 30 years
• Access to video content for as many babies as you have (forever)
• Access to one free, live virtual Q&A with an IBCLC (Internationally Board-Certified Lactation Consultant) to answer any lingering questions
• We will cover everything and still leave time for pumping/work/bottle questions. Having your partner in crime join is highly recommended, as they will be a crucial part of the teamwork needed to breastfeed.
