Are you an expectant parent and want to succeed in breastfeeding while making sure your baby is getting all they need to be healthy and thriving?
Did you ever struggle with producing enough milk, difficulty latching, nipple pain, or a baby who was never satisfied or developed problems with adequate feeding? Were you made to feel guilty because you had to or chose to use formula to keep your baby fed?
As health professionals, we have supported thousands of parents who have felt the way you have. We have not only prepared them and helped them to overcome these struggles, but we've also brought them the peace of mind that making sure their baby is well-fed is the best thing they could do for their health and brain development.
We want to teach you how to get nursing off to the best possible start. But the first days of breastfeeding are the most common time when mothers and babies encounter problems.
That is why we have brought you the Fed Is Best Breastfeeding Course. For the same price as a one-hour hospital breastfeeding class that will only teach you the basics, we are giving you over 14.5 hours of comprehensive breastfeeding instruction. We teach you not only how to breastfeed with step-by-step video instruction, but we also teach how to know whether your baby is being adequately fed, and what to do if problems with feeding occur.
Why safe and sufficient feeding is the most important goal of infant feeding for your baby's health and brain development
How to tell the difference between a satisfied, well-fed baby and hungry baby with video examples
How to put together a feeding plan based on your ultimate feeding goals and how you want to address problems with breastfeeding or milk supply if they arise
How to latch and position for optimal breastfeeding, how often and how long to breastfeed
How to manage early breastfeeding problems like nipple pain, breast engorgement, low colostrum/milk supply, problems with latching and milk transfer to maximize your breastfeeding success
How to supplement if breastfeeding is not enough while maintaining your breast milk supply and your baby's ability to latch
How to work with your health professionals to monitor your baby's feeding with weight checks and other methods if needed
We can help you be fully prepared to safely and fully feed your newborn baby and help you plan how to manage early problems with feeding, regardless of your feeding goals. If you order now, you can get a free signed copy of the Fed Is Best book. This one-hour consult can include:
Assistance with filling out your feeding plan so you can communicate with your health professionals your goals
