If you plan to breastfeed, you need to prepare to breastfeed

I have been very busy lately setting up access to The Natural Breastfeeding Home Study Program on my website! I am so excited about this course – not only is it created and presented by the premier Breastfeeding Educators in the field, I can offer it to YOU for a fraction of the cost found elsewhere! Happy dance!

If you plan to breastfeed, you need to prepare to breastfeed – period. The best way to prepare is to take an in-person breastfeeding basics class during your last trimester. (Please see: Should you take a breastfeeding basics class? And What will you learn in a breastfeeding basics class?) Yet for some, this is not possible, either due to time constraints, lack of options, bedrest, funds, etc… there are a myriad of reasons that a class cannot be sought – yet education is still key! If this is you, then rest easy, for there are other ways, like a Home Study Video Course.

A full-fledge, 6 module Home Study Course

I have been diligently creating my own online course, yet during my research, I stumbled upon a gem of a program that blew me away. The Natural Breastfeeding Home Study Course is far more than just a breastfeeding skills class, it is a method and an approach that truly makes Breastfeeding easier. I have taken the course (one of the reasons I am behind on my posting schedule!) and I wish I had taken it when I was pregnant with my eldest daughter. Way back then, before I knew anything about breastfeeding or had embarked on my own journey to become a CLEC, this home study course could have saved me hours of pain and months of struggle.

One of the perks of being a Certified Lactation Professional is access to material like this, and access to the licensing to share it. I am offering it to the students who take my Breastfeeding Basics class as an addendum to the class material – yet for those that do not see me in person, I am offering it as a stand alone product via the Milk and Hugs Shop.

I realize that this sounds like a sales page, and it kinda is – but it is also a post to share this great news! If you want to see the sales page (come on, you know you do!), follow this link: The Natural Breastfeeding Home Study Course. While I have repeated some of the same information there that I have presented here, it goes into more detail and even has letters from the creators themselves.

The Milk and Hugs Shop is now OPEN!

Now that I have acquired a limited number of licenses to distribute the class and set up the pathways needed for payment, I am taking things a step further and creating an entire Milk and Hugs Shop. In the coming days and weeks, I will be adding products that you can purchase, and some that you can snag for free, like the Bassinet Placard or the Milk Storage Guidelines.

Please be sure to check back frequently to see what I have added – and leave a comment if there is an item or PDF you wish to see created!

I am so excited about these next steps, and so excited that you get to take this journey with me.

All the best,
