I like to stress how milk is made in response to supply and demand. I explain how critical early and frequent milk removal is (by baby , pump,hand). In my mind if I can get a mum to ensure her supply isn't compromised it is easier to work on baby issues. 

I also talk about how newborns feed very frequently and not at even intervals around the clock. So many new parents expect to feed their babies a whole lot less than the 10-12 times in 24 hours.

The owner of the shop described her clientele as women that are "terrified" because they don't know enough and are overwhelmed. They are having a day of bra fittings, nursing wear demos, and community support.  It will be both pregnant and new moms attending.

I want to whet their appetite for BF, make them think, and introduce them to the support they have available...LLL and me, the LC. I have an outline all typed up that I will work to flesh out to be more in-depth breastfeeding classes. But for now, short, sweet, and to the point is needed.
