I teach a free breastfeeding class at the Babies R Us in Nashville, every
other month (they have requested that frequency because of the popularity of
the class). I have been through several "promotions managers" or whatever
they are called. The current woman is EXCELLENT and breastfed her own
children and fully supports the class.

I have always stipulated that they take out any formula ads, pacifier
samples, etc out of the bags before I get there. I then also check the bags
when I arrive. My perspective is, If they don't like it they can find
someone else to teach the class. I have never had a word of protest AT ALL
from them. I actually speak out about "cheap" pumps too, by name. That is
fine with them because they sell more PIS that way (But I make it very clear
that pumps are not necessary to breastfeed).

It has been up and down but my class size ranges from 6-8 people to 20
people or more. Usually 2-4 dads, even some grandmas and friends. ALOT more
response than my LLL group and fee based classes I have tried to do. I
consider it public service and part of my own personal mission. I do hand
out flyers for my personal business so I do get advertisement out of it.

I would agree that showing a video wouldn't be the best use of time. I do a
very basic class but cover alot. If you would like my basic outline, I would
be happy to share. Email me privately at [log in to unmask]
