This class provides participants with:
 A chance to meet other people in the community expecting a baby.
 Knowledge of what to expect during your labour and delivery.
 Breathing and relaxation techniques.
 Immunization and infant safety information.
 Providing your support person with the skills to help with labour and delivery.
 Increased breastfeeding knowledge to help breastfeeding start out right, including latching
techniques, hand expression, positioning and expected newborn behaviours.
 Newborn and postpartum care.
 What resources are available for yourself and your newborn.

Our Prenatal Breastfeeding Information class is offered once a month in the evening from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30
