Birthsmarter Lactation (Not So) Basics

This is the class we wished we had before attempting to feed our babies!


We'll cover:

  • The secrets to getting a great latch (nursing does not have to be painful!)

  • Milk production and why the timing of feeds really matters (cluster feeds, growth spurts, etc)

  • How to know your baby is getting enough milk

  • Breast care and troubleshooting clogged ducts, mastitis, and thrush 

  • Tongue ties + other possible complications 

  • Pumping, hand expression, storage, and alternative feeding options 

  • Changing patterns within the first 24 hours, first two weeks, and first few months  

  • Ways partners can support the nursing parent

  • Oh, and a lot about the general awesomeness of breastmilk!

Our goal is to lay a strong foundation and give you the resources you’ll need for navigating the seemingly uncharted territory that lies ahead! Partners are strongly encouraged to attend.

While great as a standalone class, we love to bundle with Postpartum Planning and Newborn Care for a comprehensive education! Book all three classes in one transaction for 10% off with the code BUNDLE. All classes include you + your support team.

Mother Nurture Workshop

Please join us for an in person/virtual discussion with Jess Baldenhofer, a certified peaceful parent coach and educator, working with parents on building strong connections within themselves and with their children. 

Join Jess for this interactive workshop on considering your child’s behavioral challenges. Evaluate which behaviors are unmet needs, whether emotional, physical or sensory. Gain some tools for “reading” your child’s behavior, how to respond and how to take care of your own needs at the same time.

Key Details

Jess is dedicated to supporting moms on their journeys to become empowered and mindful parents. She specializes in working with moms who want to raise their children differently from how they were raised but don’t always have the tools. She works closely with parents to understand their own emotions, needs and triggers so that they can effectively collaborate with their children for a peaceful family life. Jess supports parents in a process of understanding their children better, supporting their child’s emotions while being the clear, calm, loving leaders their children need.

Before becoming a parent coach, Jess worked as a museum educator for 20 years, partnering with schools and teachers to develop educational programming. She lives in Brooklyn with her nine year old son and husband.
