Breastfeeding basics class

Breastfeeding Basics classes are held the third Thursday of every month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Schwartz Auditorium at the Women and Children's Hospital, 1350 Charles Street, Rockford, Ill.

This class is for breastfeeding individuals in the Rockford area. Breastfeeding Basics is taught by a board-certified lactation consultant who will teach you the advantages of breastfeeding, strategies for early success and how to pump as well as offer breastfeeding support resources for after your hospital discharge.

We encourage you to bring a support person with you as well as a doll or teddy bear for positioning practice.
