SAT., MARCH 13
You are strongly encouraged to learn more about breastfeeding by attending this class taught by internationally board-certified lactation consultants. This class provides important information about breastfeeding, such as how baby needs to be properly positioned, how to assure baby is learning to latch on correctly and how to know if baby is getting enough breast milk.

We recommend that you and your support person take the class in your sixth or seventh month of pregnancy. Fathers are strongly encouraged to attend. Mothers may review the material by attending the mother's nursing group before delivery.

Call (260) 435-7070 to register for class by phone. Class code number is B-03.
Advanced registration is required.

The class is especially helpful for:

* First-time moms or dads
* Those who have had a previous negative breastfeeding experience
* Mothers with flat, inverted, short or large nipples
* Mothers with very large or small breasts
