I would love any tips!

I taught my first class to a group of very young expectant mothers at
a high school for pregnant and parenting teens last week.  The nurse
thought it went great...I think I can do better!  I started by having
the students tell me what the know/what they have heard about
breastfeeding and I made a list for all of us to see so I would know
what to address.  I also brought props to illustrate some of the
"benefits" of breastfeeding (still working on normalizing
language...bear with me...), focusing on some of the short-term
differences between ff and bf.  Some of the young women were very
engaged, others not so much.  I definitely need more visuals/humor
(didn't know I'd have access to an overhead) for next time.  It's a
one-shot deal class that runs 30-45 minutes.  My dream is to get a
peer-support group going!

Thanks in advance,
