Interesting article on a different approach to prenatal care:

> CenteringPregnancy is a model of group prenatal care that provides more than 20 hours of contact time between the childbearing care provider and a cohort of pregnant women with similar due dates. During this time, each woman has the opportunity to build community with other pregnant women, learn self-care skills, get assurance about the progression of her pregnancy, and gain knowledge about pregnancy, birth, and parenting.

This seems like a wonderful setting to teach prenatally about
breastfeeding over the course of months. (Parents seem overwhelmed
sometimes in a single breastfeeding class that tries to cover
*everything.*) And what an advantage to start motherhood with some
comrades, instead of having to reach out post-partum.
