Start Preparing to Feed Your Newborn Before They Arrive

  • Are you an expectant parent who wants to be as successful as possible in reaching your feeding goals when your baby arrives but don't know where to start?

  • Did you ever struggle with making enough milk, with difficulty latching your baby, with getting enough sleep trying to feed your baby, or had a baby lose too much weight or develop feeding complications and want to be better prepared for your next baby?

  • Were you ever judged or shamed for needing to or choosing to use formula to keep your baby adequately fed?

  • Are you looking for judgment-free information on how to breastfeed, formula-feed, combo-feed, or pumped-milk feed your baby, and what to do if problems arise?

You are not alone. We have been in the same place. And we're going to help.

As health professionals who have dedicated themselves to the "Fed Is Best" mission, we have:

  • Helped thousands of families with the same struggles, providing them inclusive, non-judgmental, science-based education and support to maximize their ability to reach their feeding goals while always prioritizing the safety and comfort of their baby.

  • Supported parents in protecting their own mental and physical health by giving them the permission to change their feeding plan in order to do so.

  • Fostered a community of like-minded parents and health professionals that have the same vision for a world where all families are supported and their autonomy respected.

And unlike many resources, we celebrate every path to a thriving baby, parent, and family.

We want you to join us!

That is why we have created . . .

The Fed Is Best Prepare to Feed Your Baby Before Birth Course

"No hungry babies and no judgment."

This is our mantra. The most common time when problems with feeding occur is during the first days after birth. The most common reason why parents tell us these problems occur is because their breastfeeding books and classes did not adequately prepare them.

That is why we have developed a FREE course on preparing to feed your newborn before they arrive. It includes a 14-page downloadable, printable "Fed Is Best Preparing to Feed Your Newborn" checklist to guide your preparation during pregnancy. Let us give you the tools you need to succeed, whatever you choose.

In addition to getting the course, you get to be part of an online community of other parents where you can ask questions from the instructors and get peer support from the community. We want a world where no baby goes hungry and all parents are supported. Come help us build that world!

With love,
