A private class with lactation consultant Julie Brill, IBCLC, CCCE is tailored to your needs and questions.

When families take a breastfeeding class during pregnancy they have a better understanding of how breastfeeding works, and what to expect when feeding and caring for their newborn. The more you know about latch before your baby is born, the less likely you are to have issues with nipple soreness postpartum.

"My husband and I first felt a connection to Julie at her excellent breastfeeding course. With a great mix of humor and historical perspective, she delivered an entertaining and enlightening class that was perfect for first-time parents!

Once our baby was born, we experienced some early challenges with our daughter's weight loss and a delay in my milk production. We knew we needed a calm and thoughtful coach in this situation, and we immediately thought of Julie. After two sessions at our home, we had a better understanding of the situation and received a thorough list of tips and recommendations on what could help. Beyond those initial consults, Julie has continued to be a great source of support—I definitely consider her part of our "team of experts" and have been happy to recommend her to other new moms in my circle!"
