Breastfeeding Class – Valley Hospital – Spokane

Like any new skill, breastfeeding takes knowledge and practice to be successful. Our Breastfeeding Classes are taught by our Registered Nurses who are also IBCLC's (International Board Certified Lactation Consultants). They are dedicated to assisting moms and babies learning how to breastfeed and understand that it can be difficult at times, but when it all comes together, it is a wonderful experience for both.

Topic we will cover: Skin to Skin (The Golden Hour), 5 Keys to a good latch, how to recognize infant hunger cues and what they are, returning to workwhen to start pumping for transition back to work, possible complications and difficulties in the early days of breastfeeding, use of pacifiers and answer any questions you have.

Our childbirth classes have been created for our Inland Northwest MultiCare families as we partner with you during your birthing experience. The expectant person's partner or support person is welcome to attend, but only one registration per couple is needed.
