(3/3) “I took a breastfeeding 101 type class with my husband. The class was awesome. I don’t remember much of the specifics; it was more like kind of a Q&A session. The teacher really instilled the confidence that you will be able to breastfeed. I think a lot of the attendees were kind of nervous that they wouldn’t be able to breastfeed or that they wouldn’t provide enough milk, whatever their situation was. She was really a confidence builder that we would all produce enough milk. I also took a working and breastfeeding class about two months postpartum to get an idea of things like: How much do I need to pump? How does it all work? What are the rules around milk storage? And milk freezing? That class was really intimate, there were only three of us attending and it was really interesting because one had a really low supply and she was supplementing. Another momma had an oversupply. It was a nice range of different experiences that we all came in with. Different concerns and questions, but we all just wanted to feed our kids.”
