To help draw out the benefits and risks that they are already aware
of, I make it part of the introductions portion of the class.  I ask
them to tell me their name, EDB, and a benefit to mom, baby, both,
family, etc.  Partner's are part of my classes too and I have them
give benefits too.  Quite often the partner knows a lot of the
benefits of breastfeeding but the mom in the relationship didn't
realise.  It helps the moms feel more supported when their partner
clearly has taken an interest in the breastfeeding relationship.
