Let Down Lounge for Breastfeeding Basics!
Get ahead of the learning curve before your little one arrives. This comprehensive workshop provides expectant mothers and partners with evidence-based tips and strategies to establish a successful, stress-free breastfeeding routine.
This workshop is your supportive guide to building a confident, successful breastfeeding relationship from day one.
Led by experts following AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and ILCA (International Lactation Consultant Association) guidelines, we’ll cut through the noise and give you practical, hands-on strategies for the real world.
What We’ll Cover Together:
How is breast milk made? (Establishing a healthy milk supply)
What happens right after the baby is born? (Expectations and reality)
What supplies do I really need?
What can my partner/family do to bond with the baby?
Can I mix formula and breast milk?
We’ll Explore & Practice:
The Deep Latch Technique: Master the step-by-step mechanics to achieve a deep, comfortable latch that protects your nipples and ensures the baby gets enough milk.
Hands-On Feeding Positions: Practice and try out different positions (like the cradle, football hold, and side-lying) so you can find what feels best for your body.
Reading Your Baby’s Cues: Learn how to identify early feeding cues, before crying starts, so you know exactly when your baby is ready to nurse.
Bring your partner or a support person! This class is designed to get you both on the same page, feeling empowered and ready for the beautiful journey ahead!
Food Should Be Fun Fridays
Join us for a playful, supportive workshop designed for families and babies who are beginning to show readiness for eating. This class creates a relaxed, engaging environment where exploration comes first, and pressure stays out of the picture.
Each session begins with brief introductions and guided play to help babies feel comfortable and regulated. From there, families are invited into sensory exploration with food—touching, smelling, and interacting in a low-stress way—before moving into opportunities for eating at each child’s own pace.
Led by an experienced feeding therapist (Speech or Occupational Therapy), the workshop helps caregivers learn how to:
Recognize signs that their baby is ready to eat
Understand sensory preferences and needs around food
Identify key aspects of their baby’s anatomy and movement that support safe, successful eating
We wrap up with a quick, collaborative clean-up and practical strategies for families to try at home throughout the week.
This is a space to build confidence, ask questions, and help your baby develop a positive relationship with food—because food should be fun!
